Abstract

A home location register (HLR) (70) associated with a called party mobile station (20) determines that the mobile station (20) is currently roaming outside of its home mobile telecommunications network (60). In response to an incoming call connection (40), the HLR (70) instructs and associated gateway mobile switching center (GMSC) (50) to inform and to request the calling party subscriber (10) to be charged for rerouting the received incoming call connection from the GMSC (50) to a visited mobile switching center (MSC) (80B) located within the visited mobile telecommunications network (60B) and currently serving the called party mobile station (20). In response to an affirmative response (350) from the calling party subscriber, the call connection is rerouted (370) and accordingly charged to the calling party subscriber. Otherwise, the received incoming call connection is rejected (360).
