 DESCRIPTION 

Norfa.com is an advanced VoIP telephony service that allows subscribers to take full advantage of the new generation telephony services. Norfa.com offers all traditional telephony services such as Call Waiting, Call on Hold, call Transfer, Call park, 3-way Calling, Caller ID, Call Forwarding, Do-Not-Disturb, Redial, Speed Dial, 911 Energency Service, 411 Directory Assistance, *68, *70, Caller ID Block. In addition, the system will allow Voicemail Forwarding, Distinctive Ringing (to distinguished callers), Call Screening (to screen unwanted sales calls), White and Black Lists (to permanently ban callers from calling you). Norfa.com allows two modes of operation: single-stage dialing - the callers will reach you by dialing the Service Number assigned to you (similar to the traditional telephony service), and two-stage dialing -- the callers will reach you by dialing a central number first and then dialing your assigned extension. Both options offer call screening to provide selective call pickup.
