Abstract: This invention provides methods and apparatus for providing customised prior-to-answer and in-call media playback telephony services. The services allow for playback of customised media content to calling parties in the form of customised ringback tones, engaged tones, call holding, call transfer tones and other content such as pre-recorded announcements. The media content for playback is stored in equipment associated with subscribers and playback of the media content is originated from the subscriber equipment. The invention allows subscribers to give their telephony services a personal touch as they can choose different items of media content for playback to different calling parties. As the media content is stored on subscriber equipment local to subscribers, no additional network resources such as data storage and data processing facilities arc required.

Abstract: This invention provides methods and apparatus for providing a single service destination, such as a single mailbox, for multi-service users who have access to a plurality of different telephony services in a telecommunications network. Signalling information for unanswered calls is altered so as to modify the destination for the calls to that of a single service destination, for example a network node where a single mailbox service can be provided. Signalling information identifying the calling party in the network where the single service is provided is added to avoid rejection of the unanswered calls by the single service destination. The invention allows unanswered calls to any of a multi-service user's telephones to be routed to a single service destination where the multi-service user can access data for multiple services together, rather than having to access multiple service destinations in a disparate and uncoordinated fashion.

Abstract: The invention relates to the generation of configuration data for use in the migration of telephone switching systems. Configuration data for use in the migration of subscribers from a first telephone switching system over to a second telephone switching system in a telecommunications network is generated by monitoring signalling information on telephone channels associated with subscribers for telephone calls conducted via the first telephone switching system. The monitored signalling information is then analysed in relation to call data produced by the first telephone switching system for the calls to identify relationships between the monitored signalling information and call data for calls conducted by subscribers. Configuration data based on the identified relationships is then stored and used to configure the second telephone switching system with mappings between the associated telephone channels and the telephone dialling numbers for subscribers.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and apparatus for processing telephone calls in a packet-based telephony service. A store of telephone party identifiers is maintained for multi-service users having access to the packet-based telephony service and an alternate telephony service. Incoming signalling information for telephone calls in the packet-based telephony service is monitored and outgoing signalling information may be altered with reference to the store. An alteration may involve replacing telephony party identification data associated with one telephony service for telephony party identification data associated with another telephony service. The invention allows a multi-service user to be consistently identified by other telephony users by a single telephony party identifier instead of one telephony party identifier for each service they subscribe to. Further, a multi-service user can be identified at the call destination by a single telephony party identifier, irrespective of which telephony service is used to make the call.
