Method for routing service calls in a telecommunication network, as well as a telecommunication network, switching center and program module therefor

The invention relates to a method of setting and performing freely programmable functions of a telecommunications terminal (U) with function control keys (KB) and a control unit (Ctrl) for initiating functions which are selected by actuating the function control keys, and with an access unit (UIC) providing access to the telecommunications network (N), wherein for the purpose of setting or performing a function, a connection is established between the control unit and a service unit (S,, S,) via the access unit, and wherein the setting or performance of the function takes place from this service unit, and to a telecommunications terminal.

Method of remotely programming a cellphone via a network

In known telecommunication systems a combination of a switch like a Service Switching Point or SSP and processor means like a Service Control Point or SCP can be used for providing several virtual private networks, which are completely independent. By allowing at least one destination of a virtual private number of one of said virtual private networks to correspond with a destination of a virtual private number of another virtual private network, the number of user possibilities is increased, like for example two companies each one of them having its own virtual private network and both having the possibility to work with the same secretary who works at home or with for example a secretary company situated at another location.
