Abstract: A method of increasing traffic in a telecommunications network by motifying a user that an opportunity to complete a previously incomplete call exists. The method includes receiving connection requests directed towards the telecommunications network, identifying connection requests directed towards a specific subscriber, compiling a list of incomplete connection and storing the list in a database, determining that the opportunity to complete the connection exists, and notifying the user that the opportunity exists.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing Intelligent Network services are provided. Signaling probes separate from a switch listen to traffic on a signaling network wherein the switch communicates with other switches and subscriber equipment. Events identified within the signaling traffic are communicated to a Service Contact Point (SCP) via an ancillary network such as a packet switch network. Optionally, the SCP relays a command to the switch in response to the detected event.

Abstract: A method and associated hardware for managing communications in a cellular network. Network usage is monitored by signaling mediation probes, either by monitoring signaling links or by receiving usage information from network elements. Based on the monitored network usage, an activity server predicts a forthcoming time interval during which sufficient network resources will be available to allow a predetermined message to be sent to one or more users of the network. When the time interval arrives, the activity server initiates the sending of the message, either by itself sending the message or by triggering another device to send the message.
