Problems solved by technology

[0005] Thus, if a person does not wish or cannot pay a large amount of money for additional roaming charges, then he does not answer incoming calls, or when traveling abroad, he even chooses to switch off his mobile terminal, even though his mobile terminal is globally compatible
That is, he cannot answer important calls
Thus, the advantage of mobile communication is spoiled due to the rigid charging system

Embodiment Construction

[0041] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] FIG. 1 shows a network system to which the method of this embodiment is applicable. Note that only parts important for describing the embodiment are illustrated, and other parts are omitted in order to simplify the description.

[0043] A first mobile terminal TA used by user A is located in the network N1. The mobile terminal has a WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) function. That is, it contains user agents and repositories. A user agent is any software or device that interprets resources. It can include text browsers, voice browsers, search engines, etc. In this case, the WTA (Wireless Telephony Application) function of the WAP is important. Thus, the user agent may be a WTA user agent using the WTA framework. A repository is persistent storage that contains resources. Repositories are used in WAP so that special r...

Abstract

The invention proposes a method for establishing a connection between two communication terminals, comprising the steps of receiving a request for establishing a connection from a first communication terminal to a second communication terminal, checking whether the second communication terminal is roaming in a second network, and in case the second communication terminal is roaming, informing the first communication terminal that the second communication terminal is roaming in the second network and allowing the user of the first communication terminal (TA) to select between different options how the call is to be handled, and controlling the establishment of a connection between the two communication terminals according to the selection of the user of the first communication terminal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of controlling the establishment of a connection between two communication terminals, one of which is roaming. Background technique [0002] The present invention relates to the situation when a user goes abroad and roams in a foreign network. Roaming in a foreign or visited network always involves additional charges, namely roaming charges for phone calls. For example, when user B is roaming in a foreign network, and another user A calls user B, there is a problem of deciding who pays the roaming charges. Currently, in GSM, the called subscriber B has to pay additional roaming charges. This is because the calling user may not know that user B is abroad. Therefore, he cannot be required to pay additional fees. [0003] However, these additional roaming charges can be high. Just pressing the answer button can sometimes be expensive, as in some places the minimum charge is 1 minute per call, and roaming charges (int...
