  • the present invention relates to a method of forwarding voice messages to a subscriber in a mobile telephone system, the system comprising a subscriber register arranged in connection with a mobile services switching centre for maintaining subscriber-specific information.
  • the invention also relates to a mobile telephone system comprising subscriber stations, a first mobile services switching centre and a corresponding subscriber register for maintaining the data concerning subscriber stations associated with the first mobile services switching centre.
  • the invention further relates to a mobile services switching centre comprising a subscriber register for maintaining subscriber station data concerning subscriber stations associated with the mobile services switching centre, a visitor location register for maintaining data concerning subscriber stations associated with other mobile services switching centres and which are located within the coverage area of the mobile switch- ing centre at a particular moment, memory means wherein predetermined voice messages are stored, and control means for forwarding the voice messages stored in the memory means to the subscriber stations.
  • the present invention relates to providing voice messages to a subscriber in a mobile telephone system.
  • voice messages to be forwarded to the subscriber stations are generated by the mobile services switching centre within the area of which the subscriber station is located (whereto the subscriber station has last performed a location update).
  • the voice message is generated in a language selected by the French operator.
  • the object of the invention is to solve the problem described above and to provide a solution enabling voice messages to be forwarded to a sub- scriber in such a way that the voice messages will be understood more easily and more reliably by the subscriber.
  • This object is achieved by the method of the invention, characterized by storing a subscriber-specific language code indicating the language in which the subscriber wants to hear the messages addressed to him in said subscriber register arranged in connection with the mobile services switching centre, and by forwarding the voice messages to the subscriber in the language indicated by the language code stored in the subscriber register.

  • the mobile services switching centre of the invention is characterized in that a predetermined language code is stored for each subscriber in the subscriber register and in the visitor loca- tion register, that the same voice messages are stored in several different languages in the memory means, and that the control means are arranged to receive the language code concerning a specific subscriber station from the subscriber register or from the visitor location register and to forward the voice message stored in the memory means to said subscriber station in the lan- guage corresponding to the language code.
  • the invention is based on the idea that when a language code corresponding to a subscriber ' s language preference is stored in advance for each subscriber station in the memory means, the subscriber ' s language preference can be taken into account when voice messages are later forwarded to the subscriber station.
  • the language code By storing the language code together with other subscriber data in the same register, the language code can be easily retrieved and forwarded to other parts of the system with other subscriber data.
  • the most significant advantage of the solution of the invention is that the voice messages can be forwarded to the subscriber in the language preferred and understood by him, the subscriber definitely being able to understand the voice message forwarded to him. Consequently, the language of a voice message is no longer dependent on the language preferred by the local operator.
  • the mobile services switching centre which forwards voice messages to said subscriber station then selects from the languages suitable to be employed the one said subscriber has ranked highest in the order of preference. This ensures that if the mobile services switching centre is not able to forward voice messages in the language preferred most by the subscriber, it can select some other language the subscriber is able to understand.
