Abstract
A method of completing an international call comprises the steps of receiving one of a request to change the status of an international service or a request to provide system status. For example, in an international redial service, a subscriber may request that a redial service to a dialed international number be terminated. Also, in an international redial service, at the conclusion of a redial period for the service, apparatus for completing the international call may call the subscribing calling party and offer to initiate a new redial period. Other features of the method for completing an international call include the capability to permit the subscriber to receive an indication of the international service status or to change service parameters from default values.
