Abstract: The described systems and methods allow for safer operation of a wireless communication device (WCD). The methods may be carried out at the WCD or at a wireless-communications network that interfaces to the WCD. A hands-free-audio (HFA) profile associated with the WCD may be set to enabled or disabled. A speed-condition of the WCD is determined and compared to a speed-threshold. If the speed-condition is greater than the speed-threshold and the HFA profile is enabled, then the WCD is operable to engage in wireless communications (e.g., voice calls or text messaging) via an HFA device associated with the WCD. If the speed-condition is greater than the speed-threshold and the HFA profile is set to disabled, then the WCD may prevent and/or postpone wireless communications from occurring. After the speed-condition is determined to be less than the speed-threshold, previously received communications (e.g., text messages) may be presented via the WCD.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and system for completing a call attempt made by a first party on a first network to a second party on a second network. The second network may be the first network or one of multiple networks excluding the first network. The first network detects termination of the call attempt. The first network communicates availability of a messaging service to the first party. The messaging service may be a short messaging service (SMS), a voice SMS, a multimedia messaging service, and a multimodal messaging service. The first network does not bill the first party for the communication of the availability of the messaging service. On acceptance of the messaging service by the first party, the first party creates a message to be delivered to the second party on the second network. The first network delivers the message to the second party on the second network.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for establishing a telephone connection to a mobile communications terminal device (11) via a mobile communications network (5, 7, 9), with at least one mobile telephone number being assigned to the mobile communications terminal device (11), wherein a supplement i.e. prefix or suffix as a control parameter is added to the mobile telephone number, the supplement being independent from the mobile telephone number. Before establishing the telephone connection an analysis of this supplement is made and the reachability of the mobile communications terminal device (11) is determined. The “reachability” is that the calling party only wants to make the call if the called party is available in real time i.e. does not want to be forwarded to voice-mail. Another example is that the call should only be established for calls that remain in the same network, so as to save costs. The supplement indicates whether the establishment of a telephone connection shall be initiated or suppressed.
