Abstract
A network device receives, from a switching node, a forwarded call directed to a particular mobile terminal and holds the forwarded call. The network device generates an alert message including context information for the forwarded call and sends, to the mobile terminal, the alert message. Information from the alert message is presented to a user of the mobile terminal in advance of receiving the call. After sending the alert message, the network device routes the forwarded call to the mobile terminal.
