Abstract: A switching system receives a first message for a call and transfers a second message. A centralized processing system processes the second message to identify first route information and redirect capability for the first called party, and transfers a third message indicating the first route information and redirect capability. The switching system processes the third message to initiate first communications between the caller and first called party. The switching system receives and processes a fourth message from the first called party indicating redirect information for a second called party to transfer a fifth message indicating the redirect capability and the redirect information. The processing system receives and processes the fifth message to identify second route information, and transfers a sixth message indicating the second route information. The switching system processes the sixth message to initiate second communications with the second called party.

Abstract: A telecommunications system comprising a service control point having call redirection logic and speed dial translation logic and a switching system connected to the service control point. The service control point is configured to receive a first message and process the first message to generate a second message containing first call handling information for a call, receive a third message that includes a first speed dial number and process the third message to generate a fourth message with second call handling information for the call. The switching system is configured to transmit the first message and the third message for the SCP and receive the second message and the fourth message from the SCP.
