1. An apparatus, comprising:
- at least a first network of a first predetermined type and at least a second network of a predetermined type;
at least one mobile terminal movable between the first and second networks;
at least one gateway operatively coupled to each of the first and second networks; and
at least one message that communicates via the gateway at least feature data of the mobile terminal from one of the first and second networks to the other of the first and second networks;
wherein the mobile terminal and a feature application server use a predetermined format for supplementary service encoding, and wherein the mobile terminal is operable to make at least one supplementary service request to activate call forwarding service via the message.

10. A method, comprising the steps of:
-
capturing supplementary service requests that are made while a mobile terminal is in one of a cellular-based network and an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network; and communicating the supplementary service request between the cellular-based network and the IMS network such that each of the cellular-based network and the IMS network have current features associated with the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is within a respective coverage area of the cellular-based network and the IMS network; employing the mobile terminal to make at least one supplementary service request to activate call forwarding service; wherein, when the mobile terminal is in the cellular-based network, the mobile terminal encapsulates the supplementary service request into a mobile-originated SMS message having a predetermined format with a destination number of a feature application server in the IMS network. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
