METHOD AND COMMUNICATION NETWORK FOR CONTROLLING THE MENU FUNCTION OF A MOBILE TELEPHONE

摘要

If a mobile telephone has sent a restricted delivery mode message to the network, also referred to as "Message Mode", the mobile network sets a"Message Mode" flag in the user's profile. For an originating call the profile is accessed in the normal manner, and, if that flag is set, the network sends a"Message Only - Leave Message" announcement to the caller, together with a command signal to switch the caller's telephone into Write Messages mode so that the calling user can immediately enter a text message via the keypad without having to select manually the Write Messages function from the Messages function of the menu.
