Abstract
A method for setting up redirection of contacts coming to a terminal (A) to at least one other communication system (A′), which is advantageously located outside the mobile communication network so that a proposal of and address of a other communication system (A′) is sent by utilizing the data transmission connection set up between the terminal (A) and the first communication system (S) to the terminal (A), whose acceptance of the proposal is followed by the activation of the redirection.
Claims15
A method for redirecting terminal communications, the method comprising:
- establishing a communication link with a terminal;
- receiving, through the established communication link, information identifying at least one of a user of the terminal or the terminal;
- identifying, based at least in part on the received information, second information regarding a period during which the terminal is to be off or without service;
- generating a proposal based at least in part on the second information, wherein the proposal comprises one or more call forward targets for receiving communications directed toward the terminal during the period;

A system which comprises:
- a communication system coupled to a terminal via a communication link, wherein the communication system is configured to
- receive, through the communication link, information identifying at least one of a user of the terminal or the terminal;
- identify, based at least in part on the received information, second information regarding a period during which the terminal is to be off or without service;
- generate a proposal based at least in part on the second information, wherein the proposal comprises one or more call forward targets for receiving communications directed toward the terminal during the period;
- and
- provide the proposal to the terminal;
- and
- a home network of the terminal, wherein the home network comprises
- a first network element configured to receive a message from the terminal, wherein the message comprises an identification of at least one of the one or more call forward targets;and
- a second network element configured to redirect a communication intended for the terminal to the least one of the one or more call forward targets during the period.
