Abstract
In a method, a call number of a subscriber that is to be monitored is flagged by an indication of subscribers that are authorized to monitor. A conference circuit between the subscriber which is to be monitored, a calling or called second communications subscriber and a third subscriber which is authorized to monitor is set up in a demand-controlled fashion if a communications link has been set up. If no communication takes place, only event data are transferred.
