Abstract
A method and an apparatus manually route incoming calls in a network in which an individual subscriber may be reached by the same telephone number on a number of different terminals, depending on, e.g., the type of incoming call and the time of day. An incoming call is automatically directed to one telephone, from which the subscriber may select to direct the call, e.g., to a fax machine, or an answering service. The terminals in question may be specified by the subscriber and identified by short numbers. An SSP and an SCP may be adapted to perform the service.
