Outgoing Call Redirection IT policy rule

Description	This rule specifies how a BlackBerry device redirects outgoing calls automatically. When you set this rule, a BlackBerry device user can place a call to a phone number and the device redirects the call to another phone number automatically. For example, you can use this rule to forward a 411 call to your organization's help desk or a long-distance number to a toll-free number. This rule applies to all outgoing calls. To forward outgoing calls on devices, you must configure the value of this rule using the remap0`<search_prefix>`,`<replace_prefix>`,`<min_count>`,`<max_count>` format. `<search_prefix>` is the prefix in the phone number that the device must match or replace `<replace_prefix>` is the new prefix or new phone number that the device must use `<min_count>` is the minimum number of digits that must follow the prefix for the match between the phone number and `<search_prefix>` to be valid `<max_count>` is the maximum number of digits that must follow the prefix for the match between the phone number and `<search_prefix>` to be valid Valid characters for `<search_prefix>` and `<replace_prefix>` are numbers zero to nine (0 to 9), the asterisk (), the number symbol (#), and the plus sign (+), where the plus sign is the international code placeholder. The value of `<min_count>` cannot exceed `<max_count>`. Consider the following examples: To configure a device to add the number one and area code to 7654321 so that the device can forward a call to (1) (519) 765-4321, type remap0,*,1519,7,7. To configure a device to forward 411 calls to your organization's help desk, type remap0,411,+15191231234,0,0. To forward an international phone number to a toll free phone number, type remap0,+447700001111,18770001111,0,0.
