First Claim
1. A method of performing a subscriber service in a telecommunications network (601, 101) which includes at least one switching station (PBX1-PBX3, PBXk;
- GMSC), at least one radio exchange (REX1-REX6;
MSC1) and at least one base station (BS61-BS64;
BS11-BS12) for setting-up a connection between a calling A-subscriber (A1) and at least one called B-subscriber (CXNT1, MS1-MS5), said method comprising;
allocating subscriber service codes to separate geographical areas (GL11-GL12, GL41-GL44, GL64), each including at least the area covered by a base station;
associating the B-subscribers (MS1-MS3, CXN44-CXN46, CXN61) with a respective geographical area (GL11, GL44, GL64);
entering the subscriber service code, said code being entered by the A-subscriber and indicating the geographical area (GL64;
GL11-GL12) in which the connection with the B-subscribers shall be established;
localizing the B-subscribers that are associated with the geographical area (GL64;
GL11-GL12) given by the A-subscriber;
selecting at least one of the localized B-subscribers; and

Abstract
The invention relates to a subscriber service for establishing a connection between an A-subscriber (A1) and a B-subscriber (CXN61) in a telecommunications network (601). The A-subscriber wishes to be connected to any B-subscriber located in a given geographical area (GL64). The A-subscriber (A1) enters a subscriber service code which is received in a control unit (CPUk) in a switching station (PBXk). The subscriber service code includes a connection path (PBX1-REX2-BS64) to the area (GL64). The control unit (CPUk) localizes B-subscribers available in the are (GL64) and stores these subscribers in a preliminary list in a memory (605). Also stored in the list are B-subscribers that are permanently associated with the area (GL64). The control unit then set one or more B-subscribers from the preliminary list and then establishes the connection.
