A method of handling the signalling concerning inbound communication for a subscriber of a mobile communication network comprises selecting between directing the signalling to core hardware of the mobile telephone network to provide routing information to a subscriber's mobile terminal, and directing the signalling to a dummy communication termination device for further transmission of the communication to a user terminal, wherein the selection is made on the basis of the subscriber's mobile telephone number. The method further comprises testing the signalling directed to the dummy communication terminal and if the testing reveals that the signalling is a routing request for a communication that is to be terminated in the dummy communication termination device, to direct the signalling to that dummy communication termination device, otherwise to direct the signalling to the core hardware. The communication is typically an SMS and enables an enhanced service to be provided to selected customers without affecting the quality of service provided to other customers. |
