Wireless centrex call screen

A method for screening incoming calls directed to a mobile station in a wireless centrex system including an intelligent radio transceiver, comprising the steps of:

• enabling call screening by entering a feature code with said mobile station;
• identifying a directory number from which incoming calls to said mobile station will be blocked;
• transmitting said feature code from said mobile station through an intelligent radio transceiver to a network server platform, said intelligent radio transceiver in communication with a local digital switch without being connected to any public cellular system, said local digital switch in communication with said network server platform, said network server platform determining where said mobile station is registered and how to route incoming calls to said mobile station;
• verifying, with said network server platform, that said mobile station is authorized to block incoming calls;
• storing, with said network server platform, said directory number in a database including a list of directory numbers from which incoming calls to said mobile station will be blocked;
• blocking said incoming call originating from said directory number which is intended for said mobile station;
• providing a call treatment for said blocked incoming call;
• instructing said local digital switch with said network server platform via a line side interface as how to dispose of said blocked incoming call according to said call treatment;
• and
• disconnecting said blocked incoming call using said local digital switch.

A system for allowing a called party to screen an incoming call to a mobile station in a wireless centrex system including an intelligent radio transceiver, comprising:

• a local digital switch, responsive to an incoming call, creating a voice path between an origin of the incoming call and the local digital switch via a line side interface, said intelligent radio transceiver in communication with said local digital switch without being connected to any public cellular system;
• a network server platform coupled to said local digital switch r determining where the called mobile station is registered and how to route said incoming call to said called mobile station and fixer determining whether an incoming call is to be blocked;
• and
• said intelligent radio transceiver receiving a call screen activate/deactivate instruction from said mobile station and instructing said network server platform to place calls originating from particular directory numbers in a call screen log.
