Abstract
A communication network including a first terminal is disclosed that is arranged for communication with a second terminal via a packet switched network. The first terminal is connected via a first gateway to the packet switched network, and the second terminal is connected via a second gateway to the packet switched network. The first gateway is arranged to receiving information from the second terminal that is to be connected without answering the call of the first terminal. This prevents calling costs from being incurred when transferring the information of the terminal to be called. The gateways may wait in answering the call of the first terminal until the second terminal has answered the call.
