  • Method for providing call completion following a call to an improper called number in a wireless communications system
    Publication number: 20040266422
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for completing wireless calls directed to an improper called number (such as may occur when an area code is changed or split) without requiring the caller to redial. A mobile switching center (MSC) analyzes dialed digits of a call to determine a projected called party/number. If the dialed digits do not comprise a proper called number, a proper calling number is derived from the dialed digits, the dialed digits are interpreted as a request to complete the call to the proper calling number and the call is completed to the projected called party. The call may be completed with or without an announcement.
