- computer readable program code to implement said gateway'"'"'s processing, said computer readable program code comprising;
computer readable program code implementing an IP Phone server software component receiving registration and signaling messages from said IP client originating said phone call;
computer readable program code implementing a Mobility Control software component updating a home location register (HLR) to indicate the location of said IP client; and
computer readable program code implementing a Service Control and Call Control software component handling said phone call originated by said IP client by directly communicating with a service control point (SCP) of said mobile network via a Visitor Location Register (VLR)/Mobile Switching Center (MSC) by sending an Intelligent Network Application Part (INAP) message to said SCP thereby making said IP client behave like a mobile client of said mobile service provider.
