Abstract:
1. A method of controlling the invocation of an intelligent network service in a mobile telecommunications network, wherein said mobile telecommunications network includes a call handler for processing a call connection request to and from a mobile station wherein said call connection request includes call destination information and wherein said call handler is operable to determine routing information for said call connection request by interrogating a database associated with said call handler and an intelligent network service handler for processing interrogations requested by said call handler, wherein said database stores an intelligent network (IN) identifier indicating whether said mobile station has IN service activated, comprising the steps of: storing a condition parameter for a destination mobile station identified by said call destination information; checking by said call handler if said intelligent network identifier is activated in the database for a particular call connection request; determining by said call handler, in response to said intelligent network identifier being activated, a particular condition of said destination mobile station, said step further comprising; routing said call connection request, in response to said intelligent network identifier not being activated, without communicating with said intelligent network service handler and not invoking an IN service.
