Abstract
A system and method for interactively selecting call treatment in real time for an incoming call in a radio telecommunications network. A modified mobile station includes a display, a browser application that presents call information regarding the incoming call and call-treatment options on a pop-up menu the display, a keypad for a user to select a call-treatment option, and a Client Access Function Teleservice (CATS) handler that packages the selected call-treatment option in an IS-136 R-DATA message and sends the R-DATA message to a modified mobile switching center (MSC). The MSC determines that the R-DATA message is a CATS message from the value of the Higher Layer Protocol Identifier (HLPI) in the R-DATA message, and sends the call-treatment option to a modified service node in a short message service (SMS) message. A server in the service node receives the SMS message from the MSC, extracts the selected call-treatment option, and translates the call-treatment option into service scripts understood by the service node.
