METHOD AND DEVICE FOR COMMUNICATING LOCATION-RELATED INFORMATION TO MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS SUBSCRIBERS

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device for communicating location-related information to mobile communications subscribers. At least one information centre is provided by which means the mobile communications subscriber can communicate across the mobile communications network. Said mobile communications subscriber can establish a communication connection with the information centre by dialling a predetermined call number. According to a preferred configuration, the location-related information available in the mobile communications network is coded as a several-digit number via the base station momentarily supplying the mobile station, and attached to the call number selected by the mobile communications subscriber as an extension number. This extended call number is then used to switch through the connection to the information centre. The information centre is then able to communicate the location-related information to the mobile communications subscriber.
