Abstract
A system and method in a radio telecommunications network of storing calling line identification (CLI) information when a called mobile terminal is not available to receive the CLI information, and forwarding the CLI information to the called mobile terminal when the terminal becomes available. When an incoming call for the mobile terminal is received in a gateway mobile switching center (G-MSC), the Home Location Register (HLR) or the visited MSC (V-MSC) where the mobile terminal is operating determines whether the mobile terminal is available. If not, the G-MSC sends a short message service (SMS) point-to-point (PTP) message to a message center (MC) and includes the CLI information. The MC is notified when the mobile terminal becomes available. The MC then forwards the CLI information to the V-MSC in a SMS PTP message. The V-MSC sends the CLI information to the mobile terminal in a IS-136 R-DATA message or other appropriate data message.
