Abstract
An automated intelligent network system and method for providing automatic forwarding of calls to enhanced telecommunications service platforms across network boundaries while preserving subscriber identity. In accordance with the present invention, the values of defined parameters that are maintained with a call according to established network protocols and passed between networks during call processing are controlled such that, using these controlled values, the subscriber identification information reaches the platform where the enhanced service is implemented in different network than that of the service subscriber. An alternative embodiment of the invention provides a way for enhanced telecommunications services platforms to identify both the subscriber and the calling party when calls are automatically forwarded to the platform across network boundaries.
