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.
Claims18
A mobile device provisioned as a subscriber of a second line service (“SLS”) and configured to request a service, the mobile device 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:
- receive a service request number consisting only of a non-temporary network recognizable telephone number;
- wherein the service request number is associated with (1) an SLS number, (2) at least one service and (3) a primary telephone number associated with the subscriber;
- initiate a communication request using the mobile device by dialing the service request number, whereby an SLS platform receiving the communication requests initiates the provision of the service associated with the service request number;
- and
- receiving the services being rendered to the mobile device.
A method for requesting and receiving a service at a mobile device provisioned as a subscriber of a second line service (“SLS”), the method comprising the actions of:
