Abstract
A method for changing service data includes setting up service data in at least one of subscriber register nodes of a telecommunications network, the service data containing subscription-related data concerning subscribers of the network and the service data to be altered by at least one message of a functional protocol. The at least one message of a functional protocol is sent to the at least one of the subscriber register nodes. A terminal of the network generates a handler message based on a specific command input by a user on the terminal. The handler message is independent of the functional protocol and has identification information concerning a subscriber of the network and change information regarding a nature and scope of a change of the service data of the subscriber. The terminal sends the handler message to a service control point of the network. The service control point uses the handler message to determine the identification information and the change information and, based on the identification information and change information, generates at least one protocol message corresponding to the functional protocol and containing command information for changing the service data. The at least one protocol message is sent to one of the subscriber register nodes or a subscriber register node to which the subscriber is assigned. The subscriber register node receiving the at least one protocol message evaluates the at least one protocol message for initiating the changes specified in the at least one protocol message.
