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 of increasing traffic in a telecommunications network by notifying 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.
