Abstract
System and method for determining reporting to a subscriber whether an incoming call originates from inside or outside of a mobile carrier's network. An example system performs a GTT (global title translation) on an incoming number to determine the hosting carrier of any mobile phone number. When the result matches the subscriber's carrier, the mobile device then indicates to the subscriber (i.e. mobile device) that the call is an “in network call.”
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a call page from a caller mobile communications network on a mobile device associated with a subscriber on a receiver mobile communications network;
- in response to receipt of the call page, sending a communication from the mobile device to a mobile switching center associated with the subscriber mobile device;
- determining at the mobile switching center if the caller mobile communications network associated with the call page matches the receiver mobile communications network associated with the subscriber mobile device based on the communication from the mobile device;
- sending the determined results to the subscriber mobile device over a data channel;
- and
- outputting the determined results at the subscriber mobile device.
