Abstract
A method for implementing an intelligent service includes the step of offering the intelligent service with an intelligent network of a telephone system. Messages are exchanged interactively between a subscriber of the telephone system and a peripheral unit. The subscriber is authorized to use at least the intelligent service. The telephone system includes, in addition to the intelligent network, at least one telephone network which is linked to the intelligent network. Information relating to the intelligent service is exchanged between the peripheral unit and a service control node via a connection which is established in a data network.
