Method for procuring instructions regarding a target subscriber in a telecommunication network and nodal points for this

Abstract

A method for procuring instructions regarding a target subscriber in a telecommunication network, who cannot be reached via the subscriber number dialed at a source terminal (TSRC). By dialing the subscriber number at the source terminal, a connection (CON1, CON2) is established from the source terminal via a first nodal point (XSRC)—which can be connected with an intelligent network unit (SCP)—to a second nodal point (XDEST). The second nodal point sends the first nodal point an answer message that the desired subscriber number cannot be reached. The connection on a section (CON2) to the first nodal point is released, and after receiving the answer message, the first nodal point requests instructions from the intelligent network unit regarding the target subscriber unable to be reached via the dialed subscriber number. Using the instructions, the first nodal point supplies a speech announcement to the source terminal or it executes the instructions for charging. Nodal points (XSRC, XDEST) for this method are also disclosed.
