More Information
Summary:In some mobile telecommunications systems reception of calls outside the home network may be very expensive for the called subscriber. For this reason, subscribers are given the possibility to bar incoming calls when roaming outside the home network. On the other hand, when using optimised routing, reception of calls even far from the home network may be very advantageous or even free. Hereby there are no longer any grounds for barring incoming calls. A method is presented in this invention where those network elements can be defined for the subscriber on a location information basis from which incoming calls will be relayed to the subscriber.
