GROUP MOBILE RADIO TELEPHONE SUBSCRIPTION

摘要

Mobile radio telephone service is provided to a plurality of members of a subscriber group (301). Members of the subscriber group, which may comprise, for example, members of a family or employees of a small business, share a single subscription (302) to the mobile radio telephone network which subscription limits the number of traffic channels which can be simultaneously occupied by the members (306). The group subscription avoids each of the individual members having to have a separate mobile radio system subscription and at the same time allows the network operator to spread subscriber traffic over a larger period of time during the day.
