Absent Subscriber Service

Absent Subscriber Service is a telephone service provided by local telephone carriers to customers who will be away for a period of time and want to stop the service without losing their telephone number . The calls to the subscriber will be intercepted by a live operator or a machine and a message will be delivered. When the customers come back, they will get their old number. But in the meantime, while they are away, they pay less money per month than they would for normal phone service.
