Abstract

Ce dispositif, qui est utilisable dans un système de communication mobile, comporte des moyens de réception d'un signal de demande de rappel automatique sur la base d'un mécanisme de transfert de données sans rapport avec un circuit, notamment un message de signal de message court (SMS) ou un message de données de signalisation de service d'abonné (USSD) transmis par une station mobile. En réponse au signal de demande de rappel automatique reçu, le dispositif établit une première connexion de circuit vers la station mobile ainsi qu'une seconde connexion de circuit avec une tierce personne sur la base d'une information contenue dans le signal de demande d'appel. Le dispositif établit alors un pontage entre les deux connexions de circuit.
