Method to manage multiple caller identities in a telecommunication system

A calling end point for providing to a recipient end point a caller identification (CID) from said calling end point, the calling end point comprising a default CID and at least one additional CID, the calling end point being arranged to:

• select one additional Caller ID,
• send a call setup message, the call setup message comprising the selected additional CID,
• receive contact data for an allocated temporary end point,
• call the temporary end point.

A profile service platform for providing to a recipient end point a caller identification (CID) from a calling end point, the calling end point comprising a default CID and at least one profile, said profile corresponding to an additional CID, the profile service platform being arranged to:

• receive a call setup message from the calling end point, the call setup message comprising the profile,
• send contact data for a temporary end point allocated to the calling end point,
• process a first call from the calling end point to the temporary end point,
• process a second call to the recipient end point using the additional CID as the calling CID,
• join the first and second calls to generate a call from the calling end point to the recipient end point.
