Abstract
A simplified system and method is provided for effecting registration in a system for routing a call to a subscriber to a personal telephone number service in an integrated wired and wireless communication network by utilizing in association with a pair of land line terminals designated by the subscriber one or two adjunct registration devices. In a manual version a registration device is situated at the site of the subscriber premise terminal and registration in the ISCP of the advanced intelligent network (AIN) of the wireline system is effected by subscriber actuation of the manual device. In an automated version the registration device at the site of the terminal includes a transceiver for emitting a periodic low power and limited range scanning signal to detect the presence of a key chain device carried by the subscriber. This device includes a miniature transceiver to effect a handshake exchange with the stationary registration device upon entering its vicinity. Both embodiments may be provided with a second control for establishing a blocking and/or call forwarding condition in the user profile in the central office switch which contains that profile.
