Intercepting call communications within an intelligent network

A method for effectuating a call connection with a particular subscriber within a telecommunications network, and the telecommunications network having a first service control point (SCP) designated to provide general service only to a selected group of a plurality of groups of subscribers, wherein the selected group includes the particular subscriber and the telecommunications network further including a second service control point (SCP) designated to provide special services to the plurality of groups of subscribers, said method comprising the steps of:

• receiving an indication to establish a call connection with said particular subscriber;
• determining whether said particular subscriber is associated with a subscriber service trigger flag;
• in response to a determination that said particular subscriber is associated with a subscriber service trigger flag comprising a call interception trigger flag, communicating with the first service control point (SCP) for routing instructions;
• and
• in response to a determination that said particular subscriber is associated with a subscriber service trigger flag comprising an intelligent network service trigger flag, communicating with the second service control point (SCP) for routing instructions.

A system for effectuating a call connection with a particular subscriber terminal within an Intelligent Network (IN) based telecommunications network, comprising:

• a service switching point (SSP) connected to said subscriber terminal, said SSP receiving an indication to establish a call connection with said subscriber terminal;
• an application module associated with said SSP for performing a B-number analysis for a directory number associated with said indication, said application module further determining whether said directory number is associated with a trigger flag;
• an intercept device associated with said telecommunications network for intercepting voice and data communications;
• a second service control point (SCP) for providing routing instructions to effectuate said call connection in response to a determination that said directory number is associated with a trigger flag for IN service;
• and
• a first service control point (SCP) for providing routing instructions to effectuate a communication link with said intercept device in response to a determination that said directory number is associated with a trigger flag for call interception.
