Calling Travelers-Any Time, Any Place

<H1>Calling Travelers-Any Time, Any Place</H1><H3>By George Jetson</H3>New York - A new generation of find-me-anywhere telephone technology is on the cusp of federal approval, with 1995 expected to ring in the most flexible, easy-to-use call-routing services to date.

Under the new services, subscribers will receive a dedicated telephone number with a 500-number area code that callers can dial to reach travelers on the road or leave messages for them.

The services will forward calls to phone, pager or fax numbers anywhere in the world. They also offer the option to bill either the caller or the subscriber for each call, and allow subscribers to program different forwarding options for different times of day.

Some of these features are available with present 800- and 700-number area codes, but only the new 500-number service combines them all.
