22. A computer program product comprising a computer usable storage medium having readable program code embodied in the storage medium, the computer program product includes at least one component operable to:
-
obtain master data associated with a user and a mobile communication device; determine mobile call rates for the user at locations along a route based on the master data; and transmit data to the mobile communication device notifying the user of at least one of the determined mobile call rates.
-
-
23. The computer program product 22, wherein the at least one component is operable to:
-
compare the determined mobile call rates to a calendar associated with the user; and change the calendar by rescheduling a call defined in the calendar to coincide with an estimated time the user will arrive at a location along the route having a lower call rate than other locations along the route.

-
24. A computer system for call management integrated with global positioning and a user calendar, the system comprising:
-
a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage media; first program instructions to obtain master data associated with a user and a mobile communication device; second program instructions to determine mobile call rates for the user at locations along a route based on the master data; third program instructions to transmit data to the mobile communication device notifying the user of at least one of the determined mobile call rates; fourth program instructions to compare the determined mobile call rates to a calendar associated with the user; and fifth program instructions to change the calendar by rescheduling a call defined in the calendar to coincide with an estimated time the user will arrive at a location along the route having a lower call rate than other locations along the route, wherein the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory; and the master data comprises;
user current location data, data defining the route, user subscription information, and at least one of coverage maps, rate maps and rate tables of available service providers along the route.

25. A method of deploying a system for call management integrated with global positioning and a user calendar, comprising:
providing a computer infrastructure operable to; obtain master data associated with a user and a mobile communication device; determine mobile call rates for the user at locations along a route based on the master data; transmit data to the mobile communication device notifying the user of at least one of the determined mobile call rates; compare the determined mobile call rates to a calendar associated with the user; and change the calendar by rescheduling a call defined in the calendar to coincide with an estimated time the user will arrive at a location along the route having a lower call rate than other locations along the route, wherein the master data comprises;
user current location data, data defining the route, user subscription information, and at least one of coverage maps, rate maps and rate tables of available service providers along the route.
