Abstract
The invention relates to a method for answering a phone call coming to a mobile terminal in a situation where a packet-switched connection is active in the mobile terminal. At least one reference item (PN, UN, GNO, CL ) has been saved in the mobile terminal. The method comprises a reception step, wherein information about an incoming call is received to the mobile terminal (MS). The method also comprises at least an examination step, wherein received information about a phone call is examined in a mobile terminal (MS) for finding at least one item of caller line identification (CLI), and it is examined whether reference items (PN, UN, GNO, CL ) have been saved in the mobile station (MS). Then, if at least one reference item (PN, UN, GNO, CL ) has been saved, a comparison step is carried out in the method, in which step said at least one reference item (PN, UN, GNO, CL ) is compared to said at least one item of caller line identity information (CLI) discovered in the examination step. After that, a decision step is carried out in the method, in which step it is decided whether the call is answered or not. The decision is made on the basis of the comparison performed in said comparison step, if a comparison step was carried out.
