A system and method for providing rapid access to voice mail messages to a subscriber in a radio telecommunications network. The subscriber has a mobile telephone (12) with a display, and the system comprises a mobile switching center (MSC) (14) which includes a group switch (13) for routing calls, and hardware (16) connected to the group switch that enables the MSC to establish three-party calls. The system also includes an announcement machine (11) connected to the MSC and a voice mail machine (15) connected to the MSC. The system causes the display of the subscriber's mobile telephone (12) to display the telephone number of the mobile telephone as a calling line identification (CLI) number when a call is made from the announcement machine (11) to the mobile telephone (12) announcing that the subscriber has a message in the voice mail machine (15). The system also sends the telephone number of the mobile telephone to the MSC (14) and establishes a three-party call between the announcement machine (11), the subscriber (12), and the voice mail machine (15). |
