1. A method of identifying telematics calls, comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving at a vehicle telematics unit a paging message used to connect a call over a wireless carrier system;
(b) determining at the vehicle telematics unit if the paging message used to connect the call includes a Mobile Identification Number (MIN) or a Mobile Equipment Identifier (MEID), wherein the vehicle telematics unit monitors for the presence of the MIN and the MEID; and
(c) establishing the call and, when the vehicle telematics unit determines that the paging message includes the MEID rather than the MIN, entering into a mode in which the vehicle telematics unit uses a modem for receipt and transmission of data.

9. A method of identifying telematics calls, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) linking an identity of a call center with a Mobile Equipment Identifier (MEID) associated with a vehicle telematics unit as part of a trunk group; (b) storing the linked identity of the call center with the MEID associated with the vehicle telematics unit as part of the trunk group at a wireless carrier system; (c) receiving a call placed to the vehicle telematics unit; (d) determining at the wireless carrier system that the call originated from the call center based on the trunk group; and (e) paging the vehicle telematics unit using the MEID associated with the vehicle telematics unit in response to the determination. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method of identifying telematics calls, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) linking an identity of a call center with a Mobile Equipment Identifier (MEID) of a vehicle telematics unit; (b) storing the linked identity at a wireless carrier system; (c) receiving a request to place a call at the wireless carrier system from the call center to the vehicle telematics unit; (d) detecting the identity of the call center based on the received call; (e) accessing the MEID of the vehicle telematics unit linked with the identity of the call center; (f) paging the vehicle telematics unit with a page that includes the accessed MEID; and (g) establishing the call and allowing the receipt of data at the vehicle telematics unit based on the receipt of the page that includes the accessed MEID. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
