1. A method for providing packet-switched network services to a circuit-switched network user equipment (UE), comprising the steps of:
- provisioning the circuit-switched network UE as an Intelligent Network (IN) subscriber;
receiving, at a cross domain server operatively coupled to both the packet-switched and circuit-switched networks, a call setup message for a call to a phone number from the circuit-switched network UE to access a service provided by the packet-switched network;
initiating the service in the packet-switched network without establishing a bearer channel by the cross domain server, on behalf of the circuit-switched network UE; and
disconnecting the call.

Abstract
A cross domain server is configured to receive calls to at least one predetermined phone number. The cross domain server is a member of a packet-switched network. The cross domain server receives a call setup message for a call from a subscriber outside of the packet-switched network. The cross domain server performs an action in the packet-switched network on behalf of the subscriber and based on the call. The call is disconnected.

11. An apparatus, comprising:
-
across domain server, coupled to an serving call session control function (S-CSCF) that controls call sessions in a packet-switched network, said cross domain server configured to operate in the packet-switched network and in a circuit-switched network, said cross domain server further configured to receive calls to at least one phone number from a user equipment (UE) in the circuit-switched network; wherein the cross domain server is configured to perform an action in the packet-switched network on behalf of a the UE in the circuit-switched network without communicating with the S-CSCF to establish a bearer channel; wherein the cross domain server is configured to disconnect the call after performing the action. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An article for use in providing packet-switched network services to a circuit-switched network user equipment (UE), comprising:
-
one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media; and means in the one or more media for receiving, at a cross domain server operatively coupled to both the packet-switched and circuit-switched networks, a call setup message for a call to a phone number from the circuit-switched network UE to access a service provided by the packet-switched network; means in the one or more media for initiating the service in the packet-switched network without establishing a bearer channel by the cross domain server, on behalf of the circuit-switched network UE; means in the one or more media for disconnecting the call. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
