SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATIONS OVER A NETWORK

摘要

A communication system capable of establishing communication with a mobile party having a Personal Telephone Number. The mobile party uses a two-way pager to transmit a forwarding number to a paging service. The paging service relays the forwarding number to a Customer Routing Point where the number is stored. Whenever a caller initiates a call to the mobile party by dialing the mobile party's Personal Telephone Number, the Customer Routing Point is notified. The Customer Routing Point then cross-references the Personal Telephone Number with the forwarding number and forwards the call to a terminating telephone associated with the forwarding number. In one possible embodiment an adjunct is used in conjunction with the Customer Routing Point to offer call forwarding service on both a call by call basis and a registration basis.
