Abstract
The invention relates to a method of providing a personal communications service to subscribers (A) having at least one fixed terminal (TE ) and at least one mobile terminal (MTE , MTE ) registered in a communications network (KOM) consisting of two or more fixed networks (FN ) and mobile radio networks (MN , MN ), to a method of routing calls directed to such subscribers, and to a service control point (SCP) for carrying out these methods. The service control point (SCP) is triggered by a service switching point (SSP ) by means of a service request message when the service switching point detects a call directed to such a subscriber. When being triggered for a call directed to a particular subscriber (A), the service control point (SCP) requests status data about the at least one mobile terminal (MTE , MTE ) associated with the particular subscriber (A) from the respective mobile radio network (MN , MN ) in which the at least one mobile terminal associated with the subscriber (A) is registered. Based on the requested status data, the SCP then selects that terminal of the subscriber (A) to which the call for which the (SCP) has been triggered is to be routed.
