Abstract
The invention provides a WAP server (20) connected to a radiotelephone network (18) and to at least one switch (22; 24) of said radiotelephone network. The server includes means for receiving calls or requests from mobile telephones (10A; 10B). On the basis of these calls or requests, a switch of the radiotelephone network (22; 24) modifies the routing of calls coming from the mobile telephone (10A; 10B) or going to the mobile telephone (10A; 10B). By way of example, the switch may enable a call to a fixed telephone to be transferred to a mobile radiotelephone.

- 10B) and for responding to said calls or requests to control a switch of the radiotelephone network (22;
- 24) so as to modify the routing of calls coming from the mobile telephone (10A;
- 10B) or going to said mobile telephone (10A;
- 10B).
2/ A WAP server (20) according to claim 1, characterized in that in order to control the switch it has means for supplying the mobile telephone (10A;
- 10B) with a signal such as a code that is then forwarded by the telephone to the switch (22;
- 24) in order to control routing.
3/ A WAP server (20) according to claim 1, characterized in that it has means to cause the switch (22;

6/ A mobile radiotelephone (10A;
- 10B) connected to a private network (18) having a WAP server (20;
- 40) and to at least one switch (22;
- 24) of said telephone network, the mobile radiotelephone being characterized in that it has means for transmitting requests or calls to the WAP server (20;
