Abstract

A method for providing location based intercept in a satellite communications system (10) includes the steps of determining a location area of a party (220), determining whether the location area is one to be monitored (240), and conditionally routing the call to an intercept gateway (250). An intercept gateway (32) is a gateway that intercepts all or part of the calls received, and can also function as a home gateway (30) or a visiting gateway (40).
