Abstract
A method and system for the leveraging a reserved relationship number by an SLS platform and/or SLS phone module for the purpose of performing special operations other than making an SLS call available for termination at a subscriber TD and/or a third party TD involve associating the SLS phone number of the subscriber, the primary number of the subscriber and a next set of instructions via a common reserved relationship number.
Claims22
A system that provides a requested service to a subscriber of a second line service (“SLS”), the system comprising:
- a memory element;
- an interface to a communications network;
- a processing unit, wherein the processing unit is communicatively coupled to the memory element and the interface;
- the processor, in response to commands obtained from the memory element, is operative to:
- obtain a service request number consisting only of a non-temporary network recognizable telephone number;
- associate the service request number with (1) an SLS telephone number assigned to the subscriber, (2) at least one service and (3) a primary telephone number associated with the subscriber;
- provide the service request number to the subscriber;
- receive a communication that is invoked by the subscriber using a mobile telephone associated with the primary telephone number;
- identify the communication as being associated with the service request number by receiving a call to the service request number without a prefix or suffix;
- and
- initiate the provision of the service associated with the service request number, such service being rendered to the mobile telephone;
- whereby the operation of the communications network does not require any modifications to provide the requested service.
A method for providing a service to a subscriber of a second line service (“SLS”), the method comprising actions of:
- obtaining a service request number consisting of a non-temporary network recognizable telephone number;
- associating the service request number with (1) an SLS telephone number assigned to the subscriber, (2) at least one service and (3) a primary telephone number associated with the sub scriber;
- providing the service request number to the subscriber;
- receiving a communication that is invoked by the subscriber using a mobile telephone;
- identifying the communication as being associated with the service request number by receiving a call to the service request number without a prefix or suffix;
- and
- initiating the provision of the service associated with the service request number, such service being rendered to mobile telephone and being attributed to the SLS telephone number associated with the service request number;
- whereby the service is provided without modification to an underlying communications network.
