The invention relates to methods and devices that enable to request more than one service during call set-up. To this end a new indicator is introduced into a request message sent to a database storing subscriber data, for indicating that at least one further request message is sent and a response indicator that a database is adapted to handle said indicator. Furthermore a set of rules is defined how different responses from the database are processed to enable said request.
