Abstract

A method of invoking a telephone user profile is comprised of storing a user call operation profile in a database at a central switching system, dialing from any station in communication with the central switching system a predetermined sequence identifying the user, identifying the user from the sequence and the physical location of the station from which the dialing occurred and storing an indication of that physical location in the database in association with the profile; and accessing the profile for subsequent calls to the directory number and from the station, and using the profile in the processing of the subsequent calls.
