Abstract: Enhanced message notification is provided by an enhanced notification function element and a subscriber preference profile database. The enhanced notification function element queries the subscriber preference profile database to obtain subscriber communication terminal capabilities information, which it uses to select a message notification technology. The enhanced notification function element may then format an enhanced notification that is delivered to a communication terminal through a delivery system architecture appropriate for the selected message notification technology. The enhanced notification may contain: a message type indicator; an identifier of the party leaving the message; a date and time that the message was deposited; multimedia objects; and other enhanced information. The enhanced notification function element may also query a terminal roaming status database in order to determine if the enhanced message should be sent when the terminal is roaming.

Abstract: Subscriber input detected via a wireless communication device for initiating network provisioning of the wireless communication device is presented herein. A method can include receiving, via an interface of a wireless communication device, a first input from a subscriber of a wireless service associated with the wireless communication device; sending, by the wireless communication device based on the first input from the subscriber, a request for provisioning the wireless communication device via a wireless network associated with the wireless service; and outputting, via the interface of the wireless communication device, a first message including a condition for the provisioning the wireless communication device via the wireless network based on the request. In an example, the method can further include receiving, based on the request, the condition from a component of the wireless network.

Abstract: An adapter for passing messages in a telecommunications infrastructure from a first device to a second device. The adapter comprises a messaging interface, a processor, and a bus interface. The messaging interface is in communication with the first device and is operable to receive a received message in a first messaging format from the first device. The processor is coupled to the messaging interface and is operable to receive the received message from the messaging interface and translate the received message into a common message in a common format. The bus interface is coupled to the processor and is operable to receive the common message from the processor and transmit the common message to the second device through a bus.

Abstract: An existing network conversion element built to an existing standard is used to obtain the information needed to perform location-based services for a multi-technology wireless device operating in a foreign technology mode. A system includes a database relating temporary dialable numbers with corresponding equipment serving those numbers and a mobile position server in communication with the database. The mobile position server is operative to request and receive a temporary dialable number for a multi-technology wireless device operating in a foreign technology mode, utilize the database to obtain the identity of the equipment serving the wireless device from the temporary dialable number, and initiate appropriate location signaling to the serving equipment. Also, a method includes utilizing the temporary dialable number to determine the identity of the equipment serving the wireless device and obtaining the location of the device directly from the serving equipment.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for delivering a message to a communications device. One method migrates a subscriber's communications device to a Global System for Mobile communications network. The subscriber's communications device is migrated from a Time Division Multiple Access communications network or a Code Division Multiple Access communications network. An origination request is received from the communications device, and the origination request is for sending the message from the communications device. The origination request includes a network address. The network address is associated to a signaling point code, and the signaling point code identifies a message service center in the Global System for Mobile communications network. The origination request is routed to the message service center in the Global System for Mobile communications network, wherein the origination request is processed by the message service center.
