Abstract: A user of a user terminal (10), is a first party (FP) associated with a communication handling device (14). The user terminal receives a selection of a second party (SP) the first party desires to contact, investigates if an association exists between a first access number of the communication handling device and the second party, and if so selects the first access number and attempts to set up a call from the user terminal to the communication handling device (14), then disrupts the call and receives a return call from the communication handling device. The communication handling device receives the attempt, determines if it comprises a calling party identifier, and if so disables the call, locates the second party using the first access number and calling party identifier, sets up the return call to the user terminal, sets up a call to the second party terminal (15) and interconnects these.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, call setup device (10) and computer program product for controlling telephone call setup for an associated user and having access to different communication networks. The call setup device (10) comprises a data receiving unit (52) receiving a first data message (DM1) from the user comprising callee identifying information and user identifying information, and a control unit (48) having access to call placing units (12, 14, 58), each connected to corresponding networks (24/32) and providing telephone call setup via these networks. The control unit analyses the callee and user identifying information, determines a preferred call setup scheme based on said analysis, orders a call placing unit to set up a first telephone call to a user terminal, orders a call placing unit to set up a second telephone call to a callee terminal, and orders an interconnection of the first and the second call.

Abstract: A communication device, method and system in which tariff information is provided to a communication device from a control station at call setup, and the charges associated with a call can be calculated and displayed to a device user at the device itself, rather than at a central communication system processor. The tariff information includes the current tariff, future tariff, and time of tariff switch. By providing the tariff information to the communication device, significant signal processing resources at the central communication system processor can be saved.

Abstract: The present invention is related to managing resources in a radio communication network. The radio communication network comprises a first set of equipment and a second set of equipment. The first set of equipment is initially allocated (301) to serve a first call. Equipment reallocation (303) is initiated, whereby the second set of equipment is allocated to serve the first call and the first set of equipment is released from the first call, upon determining (302), according to a predetermined rule based on differences in functional capabilities of the first set of equipment and the second set of equipment, that it is desirable to serve the first call using the second set of equipment instead of the first set of equipment even though the first set of equipment is able to continue serving the first call.
