There is provided a mobile terminal with an international dialing operation function, which enables unfamiliar and troublesome conversion into an international telephone number to be performed with a simpler operation and which performs conversion into an appropriate telephone number according to the location where the terminal has moved. The mobile terminal identifies its location with a location identification section and determines whether an originating call is a call to the originator's country or to a foreign country according to the identified location. If the call is to a foreign country, an international prefix according to the identified location is identified. Furthermore, a country code is set to correspond to the originator's country, or it is identified from the inputted counterpart's telephone number and the like. Conversion into an international telephone number is performed using the country code, and then a call is originated. When the call is originated to the originator's country, the domestic telephone number is used for origination without being converted. A converted number is displayed on an operation screen so that the originator may confirm whether it is appropriate or not.

A system and method for generating actions utilizing predefined commands within a communications network comprises predefined commands called symbol commands. These are character strings entered into a platform during an internet or SMS communications protocol session. The method and system can be used via the internet or a GSM network and is well-suited for mobile use. In addition, utilization of keywords and alpha-numeric or other character symbols to form symbol commands allows for complex command structuring. A search process is used in combination with a symbol command and a symbol command directory to identify specific goods and services, or related symbol commands. In addition, a platform performs specific predetermined actions in response to the symbol command such as making product purchases or providing services such as location-based services, coupon delivery or travel ticketing. The symbol command structure and platform will also utilize identification information associated with an individual user. Furthermore, the platform may implement a response using location information associated with the user from the country code, area code or prefix code of a user's telephone number, or use GPS location information associated with the user's internet device. The symbol command system and method provide an improved form of access to products and services via the internet or SMS.

Disclosed are a method for automatically originating an international call and a mobile communication terminal using the same, such that a function of automatically originating an international call according to movement of a mobile communication terminal between countries is provided. The mobile communication terminal includes a country code detecting unit for informing a country code for a corresponding country by detecting movement of a mobile communication terminal between countries. If the country code detecting unit provides an allowable country code according to the position of the mobile communication terminal, a control unit adds an international dialing code to preset information regarding a call terminating side so as to enable call connection. When the user registers a phone number of a communication counterpart in a phone directory, the user previously registers a country code for a country (in which the counterpart is located) and an area code in addition to the phone number of the counterpart as the information regarding the call terminating side. Accordingly, the user can call the counterpart positioned in another country without additionally inputting an international dialing code and a country code whenever the user originates a call.

A communication method dials phone calls by using fixed numbers and includes the following steps. A phone number is receives. A first processing step is performed to transform the phone number into a first dialing number. A correct PSTN gateway is selected according to the first dialing number. A first detection step is performed to judging whether the first dialing number is matched with a country code of the PSTN gateway. If not matching, a final dialing number is generated by adding an IDD of the PSTN gateway to the first dialing number. Otherwise, a country code is removed from the first dialing number to generate a second dialing number and a final processing step is performed to transform the second dialing number to a final dialing number. Finally, the final dialing number is sent to the PSTN gateway. A communication apparatus for implementing the above method is also disclosed.

A provider code is added to a request signal transmitted to contents server SP1 from mobile unit MS by mobile communication network GSM. Border switching station CMMS adds a roaming flag to the request signal, and forwards the request signal to gateway unit GW. Gateway unit GW converts the provider code contained in the request signal into the country code by referring to the code conversion table, and transmits HTTP request to contents server CP1 after adding the country code and roaming identification information to HTTP header. When contents server CP1 receives the above-mentioned HTTP request, CP1 determines whether the requested contents are allowed to be transmitted abroad by referring to the transmission table. When transmission of the requested contents is not permitted, contents server CP1 transmits an error notification to mobile unit MS to notify that transmission is not permitted.
