Abstract

Of special application in cellular mobile networks that communicate this terminal, via radio, with a base station to provide services of voice and/or data communications to a number of subscribers and which, in addition to the basic communications service, also support an emergency call service performed through the terminal in question by dialling a certain number. This terminal comprises means (41) for generating user signalling tones and which also generate an emergency call dial tone, different from the other tones already present, when a call process is initiated by the subscriber (5) in the case where the fixed cellular terminal is only capable of making emergency calls.
