The present invention ensures that a tester's call for testing a MSC or SGSN when it is brought back on line will be routed to the proper MSC or SGSN to be tested. In accordance with one embodiment, a call from a tester is identified by, for example, comparing the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) or temporary mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) associated with the call with a list of IMSIs or TMSIs. If a match occurs, the BSC determines that the call is from a tester and causes the call to be routed to the MSC or SGSN being tested. In accordance with another embodiment, the location from which the tester's call is placed ensures that the tester's call will be routed to the MSC or SGSN that needs testing.
