+391111111111 (trusted number);

*#CALLFWD*#2222222222.
b) +390000000000 receives an SMS from +391111111111 and automatically set the call
forward trough +392222222222.
c) All the incoming calls to +390000000000, will be forwarded to +392222222222.
Note: the SMS text content should be not “case sensitive”. So the following text shall have
exactly the same function:
- *#CALLFWD*#2222222222
- *#callfwd*#2222222222
- *#Callfwd*#2222222222
