Abstract
A wireless system is equipped for autonomous registration of a wireless telephone when it receives the 'on' registration message from the cell site (which contains the telephone number and equipment identification number of the mobile unit), sends such identification of the mobile unit over a data link into a signaling network of the public switch telephone network. The signaling network forwards this data message to a service control point which controls such universal telephone number systems to register the number of the wireless unit for use the next time the universal telephone number is called. Advantageously, the equipment identification number (EIN) also received with the telephone number of the mobile unit may be used as a PIN or general identification number of the subscriber.
