Abstract

A communications network is managed so that a user is enabled to manage user-related features provided in the network through a user interface. A call is established to a server provided with a feature management service including an individual register of characteristics and available features for predetermined user interfaces. The user's access to the network through the user interface to the server is then terminated. At least one characteristic of the user interface is used to identify the user interface. That characteristic is input into the server to enable the user to manage features associated with the characteristic.
