Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for inducing the activation of a service trigger at a switching office in a communications network are disclosed. According to one method, a call setup message associated with a call is received. It is then determined whether service trigger induction is required for the call. In response to determining that service trigger induction is required for the call, the call setup message is modified to include service trigger induction information and the modified call setup message is directed to a destination switching office. At the destination switching office, a service trigger is activated based on the service trigger induction information in the modified call setup message.
