Abstract

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé qui permettent de fournir à une station mobile (16) une tonalité de retour d'appel indiquant l'identité (32) d'un appelant dans un réseau de télécommunication (10). Le système comporte une base de données d'abonnés (12), qui stocke les informations concernant les tonalités de retour d'appel que la station mobile peut utiliser en fonction de l'identité de l'appelant. Après réception d'un appel entrant (64), un noeud de commutation (14) reçoit de la base de données les informations concernant la tonalité à utiliser et envoie lesdites informations à la station mobile. Les informations concernant la tonalité de retour d'appel que ladite station mobile peut utiliser sont choisies et mises en mémoire par un abonné mobile.
