Generally the roaming user only generates a single trigger, and this causes difficulties if multiple services need triggering for the same call, such as a prepaid unit and the optimal voicemail deposit. The disclosure teaches methods which when used in combination provide a system that can operate at the home network irrespective of the configuration of the roaming network.
RELATIONSHIP TO EXISTING APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Applications Nos. 60/754,198, filed on Dec. 28, 2005, 60/755,080 filed on Jan. 3, 2006, 60/776,696 filed on Feb. 27, 2006 and 60/788,071 filed on Apr. 3, 2006. The contents of the above applications are hereby incorporated by reference.
Mobile subscribers roaming abroad want to stay in touch with work and home, and to continue to use their mobile services, such as voicemail. Naturally, they also want the same user experience as that in the home network�such as seamless caller access to mailbox, caller-ID indication upon retrieval and direct forwarding of calls to their voice mailbox or to any of their pre-set forwarding destinations. It goes without saying that they expect the same user experience for their callers.
However, when a roamer cannot take a call, he may either be unavailable, busy or simply may choose not to answer�the visited network routes the call back to the home voicemail system, which is the default setting for most roamers. As the originating call was most probably made in the home network, the rerouting in turn causes inefficient international tromboning, that is to say the call is connected from the home country to the roaming country and back to the home country. The result is that the called party has to pay for two International legs, resulting in a negative impact on the caller and in subscriber experience and forces roamers to pay international tariffs for voicemail deposits.
The Result: Reduced Service and Use Higher subscriber costs�The high cost to the user caused by the international tromboning of voicemail causes many roamers to disable voicemail forwarding while roaming. Some home networks disable call forwarding for their outbound roaming subscribers, in order to avoid subscriber frustration.
Complicated use�Due to the filtering of signaling data by switch vendors and by some international networks, the original dialed number may not be transferred to the home network's voicemail system via these doubled International links. This forces the caller to re-enter the original dialed number. For the same reason, Caller ID is not available to the voicemail system and the phone number of the caller is not provided during message retrieval, resulting in a voicemail message whose origin cannot be traced if not self-explanatory from the message itself.
Higher operator costs�Roaming subscribers, unaware of the high cost of forwarding calls, may be surprised and angered when receiving their monthly bills. The immediate response is usually to call Customer Care to complain and inquire about the charges. In addition to customer dissatisfaction, this in turn engages operator's manpower and communications resources.
Loss of potential revenue�Disabling call forwarding to voicemail while roaming�either by the subscriber or by the operator�means loss of potential revenue that otherwise would have come from:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided apparatus for management of optimal voicemail deposit to the voicemail of currently roaming mobile telephony user during late call forwarding, the apparatus being located at the home network of said user, the apparatus comprising:
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present embodiments comprise apparatus and methods for alerting the home network about call forwarding involving a roamer so that the home network can forward the caller directly to the voicemail and disconnect the International link. In this way not only is tromboning avoided, but also the connection to the voicemail works better because the caller ID is correctly forwarded to the voicemail.
Direct forwarding�The caller receives direct in-network access to the forwarded destination, whatever number is dialed�mobile or fixed�or to the called party's voice mailbox. No international calls are implicated.
Home-like user experience�When forwarding the call to the voicemail, the application makes the original called number and calling party's number available to the voicemail system. This in turn ensures a positive user experience, both for the subscriber and the caller.
Increased call completion rate�Without international call rates, late call forwarding, while roaming, helps callers complete more calls and encourages subscribers to activate their voicemail for message deposits, thereby further increasing the call completion rate. This in turn increases the number of voicemail retrieval calls and callbacks.
No dependencies on visited network�various of the embodiments presented herein do not require any coordination or interoperability with the visited networks. A single solution at the home network suits all visited networks.
Intelligent Network (IN), including CAMEL ISUP (Service Node) Based on these two alternative signaling methods, the present embodiments provide a generic technical solution for the service. The final delivered solution to the operator however, is preferably adjusted to the specific network configuration and parameters, such as: network size and topology, traffic volume, INAP vendor's variant, CAMEL version�if relevant and to the operator's preferences. All these parameters are usually discussed prior to specifying the final technical solution.
A third solution makes use of call status triggers. A set of what may be termed late call triggers, because they occur after the call has begun, may be used. Such triggers include the �no answer� notification, the �busy� notification etc. The call goes to the prepaid system in the normal way using the roaming trigger. Likewise the call is forwarded to the callee, who does not answer etc. The no-answer status returns to the home network, which can now be used to trigger the anti-tromboning system, and direct it to disconnect the International branch of the call at the gateway, and forward the caller directly to the voicemail.
Intelligent Network (IN)�Including CAMEL
ISUP�Including Loop Around
In particular cases�such as: a non-IN network environment, cases where there is relatively low outbound roaming traffic, or, when specifically requested by the operator, call control is performed using ISUP signaling�In this case all MT roaming calls are physically routed to the Intelligate platform. The Loop Around method is a much better method, where only the ISUP signaling is routed to the Intelligate, while the physical voice part actually stays on the MSC. This is achieved by connecting the E1/T1 lines back to the MSC, creating a physical loop. This method avoids the transfer of the huge amount of voice traffic to the Intelligate, by having a �semi IN� solution.
c. Call status triggers such as �call busy� or �no answer�
TABLE 5 Roaming user in non-Camel roaming network with use of IN service broker. Step Description 1 MT call reaches the GMSC. GMSC sends SRI message, HLR sends the terminating trigger T-CSI indicator and the VLR# 2 The T-CSI IDP is sent from the GMSC to the Service Broker. NOTE: The actual GT address of the IDP can be the prepaid SCP but the message should be rerouted by the STP to the Service Broker. This shall provide higher service availability in case of failure in the Service Broker 3 The Service Broker sends an IDP message to the first SCP - IntelliGate, and afterwards to the second SCP - prepaid SCP. 4 An Accumulated response is sent from the Service Broker to the GMSC with all requests joined from all Back-end SCPs IntelliGate and Prepaid system) 5 A second MAP_SRI is sent to the VLR to get the MSRN. The call is sent to the visited network. 6 When the call is not answered, it is released because the VPMN has no CAMEL relationship with the HPMN. 7 When the release message arrives, the GMSC sends an ERB message to the Service Broker, which sends an ERB to the prepaid system (to close the charging session) and to the IntelliGate. 8 The IntelliGate diverts the call to the Voicemail Deposit number 9 A-Party deposits a message. Service Flow Using INAP/CAP Call Status Triggers (�Such as �Call Busy� or �no Answer�)
In the following are described different service flows for the methods based on making use of the call status triggers as outlined above. Specifically, use is made of INAP/CAP call status triggers, such as the triggers for �call busy� or �call not answered�. By using these triggers, the service overcomes the conflict with other services that use the TDP12, such as: Prepaid, Call Screening, VPN, etc services. The system is based on the TDP 13 and TDP 14, that is the busy and no answer triggers respectively.
SUMMARY All of the optimal voicemail deposit methods have the advantages that they eliminate tromboning, meaning they bypass international leg for voicemail, significantly reducing costs to the subscriber. They thus encourage greater use of the mobile phone and voicemail, in particular by optimizing user experience and significantly reducing voicemail deposit costs. In each case described there is no dependency on the visited network since different workflows are available for each different visited network configuration. That is to say the same solution enables the elimination of voicemail trombone and recovery of lost revenue without any dependency on the visited network.
