Abstract: Personalized information is transferred from a first hand portable phone having a first memory means for storing said personalized information to a second hand portable phone having a second memory means for storing said personalized information. A connection between said first hand portable phone and a computer on which a data transfer application is running is established. The data transfer application on said computer is controlled to read said personalized information from said first memory means to store the personalized information in said first hand portable phone in memory means associated with said data transfer application in said computer. Then a connection between said second hand portable phone and said computer on which said data transfer application is running is established.

Abstract: A telecommunications system comprising an arrangement for controlling a multicall over a transmission path between a telecommunications network and a subscriber terminal. A multicall may have three different bearer configurations: each call of the multicall has a dedicated bearer, or one bearer is shared by all calls of the multicall, or the multicall has both dedicated and shared bearers. When a shared bearer is used, a user can have several independent calls in parallel, which have to alternate in using the bearer, or in some situations, use it simultaneously. The network is arranged to set up any new call in an existing multicall, according to a criterion, either by (i) setting up said new call on a new bearer, or (ii) setting up said new call on an existing bearer so that said existing bearer is shared by at least two calls.

Abstract: In a communications system, the subscriber data in a home network of a subscriber is provided with a subscriber ciphering profile, which indicates whether an unciphered call, session or data packet is to be rejected, accepted or handled in some other manner. A serving network checks the subscriber ciphering profile in one or more of the following cases: 1) for each setup of an unciphered call or connection, 2) for each unciphered packet switched data transmission session, or 3) for each packet data transmission originating from subscriber equipment, and rejects or accepts the unciphered call, connection, session, or data packet, respectively, according to the subscriber ciphering profile. As a result, unciphered calls, sessions, or packet data transmissions will be reliably rejected.

Abstract: In a communications system, the subscriber data in a home network (HLR) of a subscriber (UE) is provided with a subscriber ciphering profile which indicates whether an unciphered call, session or data packet is to be rejected, accepted or handled in some other manner. A serving network (MSC/VLR, SGSN,UTRAN) checks the subscriber ciphering profile in one or more of the following cases: 1) for each setup of an unciphered call or connection, 2) for each unciphered packet switched data transmission session, or 3) for each packet data transmission originating from subscriber equipment, and rejects or accepts the unciphered call, connection, session, or data packet, respectively, according to the subscriber ciphering profile. As a result, unciphered calls, sessions, or packet data transmissions will be reliably rejected if the network operator or the user sets the subscriber ciphering profile accordingly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for handling phone numbers in a mobile station and a mobile station. According to the invention, numbers (3a, 3b, 3c) are handled in groups (1a, 1b, 1c) which have different attributes (2a, 2b, 2c). The attributes (2a, 2b, 2c) mean e.g. rights to generate a ringing tone. In a certain operating mode, only a call belonging to a group (1a, 1b, 1c) which in that operating mode has the right to call the mobile station, will generate a ringing tone. The attributes (2a, 2b, 2c) also mean group-specific ringing tones which represent the type of the group (1a, 1b, 1c). The attributes (2a, 2b, 2c) further mean symbols on the display of a mobile station.
