Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for uniform call termination treatment in a global telecommunications network, the network including subscribers and wireless subscriber units. The method includes the steps of receiving calls for the wireless subscriber units for the global telecommunications network; determining unconnected calls that cannot be connected to the subscriber units; and uniformly providing alternative call termination treatment options to each of the unconnected calls. In the preferred embodiment, the reasons why the call cannot be connected to the wireless subscriber unit includes the unit being not reachable, busy, or not being answered. A caller is given the same option to leave either a voice message, a numeric message, or a text message under each of the above circumstances. In this manner, incoming calls are handled uniformly. Because calls are uniformly completed, network providers can bill for each call, minimizing lost revenue.
