message data acquired by the acquisition section to a multicast group specified by the group specifying information included in the message transmission instruction received by the instruction receiving section, and wherein the first access gateway includes, a relay section that receives from the first mobile terminal via the wireless base station a call connection request for the second mobile terminal and transmits the call request notification to the call control server in response to the call connection request, a processing section that, in a case where the processing section receives the response message from the call control server, performs multicast group participation processing for participating in the multicast group specified by the group specifying information included in the response message, and a guidance transmission section that transmits the guidance message data that is received as a result of the multicast group participation processing performed by the processing section to the first mobile terminal. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mobile network system according to claim 1, wherein the response section further includes a check section that checks whether the instructing section has already transmitted the message transmission instruction, and wherein, in a case where the determination section determines that the second access gateway is call-restricted and the check section checks that the message transmission instruction has yet to be transmitted, the response section transmits the response message after causing the instructing section to transmit the message transmission instruction. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The mobile network system according to claim 1, wherein, in a case where the relay section receives from the first mobile terminal via the wireless base station a call disconnection request for the second mobile terminal, the relay section disconnects a connection between the first mobile terminal and the first access gateway, and wherein, in a case where the relay section disconnects the connection between the first mobile terminal and the first access gateway, the processing section performs processing for withdrawing from the multicast group in which the first access gateway has participated. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The mobile network system according to claim 1, wherein, in a case where it is determined that the second access gateway is call-derestricted and all of the plurality of access gateways are call-derestricted, the instructing section transmits a message transmission termination instruction to the guidance message control server. ### Claim 5 A guidance message providing method performed in a mobile network system including a guidance message control server, a call control server, and a plurality of access gateways each of which is connected to a mobile terminal via a wireless base station, the guidance message providing method comprising: causing the call control server, to receive from a first access gateway included in the plurality of access gateways a call request notification that a first mobile terminal has made a call request for a second mobile terminal, to determine whether a second access gateway that is included in the plurality of access gateways and is connected to the second mobile terminal specified in the received call request notification is call-restricted, to transmit a message transmission instruction including message specifying information and group specifying information to the guidance message control server, and to, in a case where it is determined that the second access gateway is call-restricted, transmit a response message including the same group specifying information as that included in the message transmission instruction to the first access gateway; causing the guidance message control server, to receive the message transmission instruction from the call control server, to acquire guidance message data specified by the message specifying information included in the received message transmission instruction, and to multicast transmit the acquired guidance message data to a multicast group specified by the group specifying information included in the received message transmission instruction; and causing the first access gateway, to receive from the first mobile terminal via the wireless base station a call connection request for the second mobile terminal and transmit the call request notification to the call control server in response to the call connection request, to, in a case where the response message is received from the call control server, perform multicast group participation processing for participating in the multicast group specified by the group specifying information included in the response message, and to transmit the guidance message data that is received as a result of the multicast group participation processing to the first mobile terminal. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The guidance message providing method according to claim 5, further comprising causing the call control server, to check whether the message transmission instruction has already been transmitted, and to, in a case where it is determined that the second access gateway is call-restricted and it is checked that the message transmission instruction has yet to be transmitted, transmit the response message after transmitting the message transmission instruction. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The guidance message providing method according to claim 5, further comprising causing the first access gateway, to, in a case where a call disconnection request for the second mobile terminal is received from the first mobile terminal via the wireless base station, disconnect a
