Summary:The invention relates to a method of invoking privacy related to a user equipment capable of accepting push messages in communications network, which push message is a message a server may send to the user equipment without the user of the user equipment asking for it and the server having the ability to be able to act as a push message initiator. The method comprises the steps of: (i) sending a first request for the personal user data from the user equipment to an origin server over a first channel (A); (ii) the origin server sending a request for personal user data to a supporting server; (iii) the supporting server sending a push message over a narrow band channel (C) to the user equipment indicating said request for the user data made by the origin server; (iv) the user equipment responding to the push message at least by an allowing message or a disallowing message for the request of data over said narrow band channel; and (v) the supporting server providing the data to the origin server at least partly in response to the allowing message, and rejecting the data providing otherwise.
