Abstract

A method and an arrangement for automatically monitoring a mobile telephone unit (ME) on the occurrence of at least one predetermined event in the mobile telephone unit (ME), for instance a call release. The method comprises the steps of: storing at least one monitoring program in a program generator (PRG) in the mobile unit (ME); storing in a comparison circuit (CC) in the mobile unit (ME) signal patterns representative of different types of trigger signals (TSI); sending a trigger signal (TSI) from a trigger device (TA) in the mobile unit to the comparison circuit (CC), the trigger signal (TSI) being contingent on the occurrent event; comparing the trigger signal (TSI) with the signal patterns; selecting a monitoring program according to the result of the comparison; and executing the selected monitoring program in the mobile unit (ME).
