1. A method for communicating a signal between a first node within a first Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) network and a second node within a second SS7 network, wherein said first SS7 network and said second SS7 network are connected by a converter signal transfer point (STP), and wherein said signal includes a point code and subsystem number representing said first node as a calling party address, wherein said point code and subsystem number are routeable within said first SS7 network but not routeable within said second SS7 network, said method comprising the steps of:

  • receiving said signal from said first node by said converter signal transfer point (STP), said signal including said point code and subsystem number representing said first node as said calling party address (Cgpa);

    converting said received point code and subsystem number into a global title number routeable within said second telecommunications network by said converter STP, and replacing said global title number in said signal as said calling party address, wherein said global title number represents said converter STP; and

    transmitting said signal from said converter STP towards said second node over said second SS7 network.
