Abstract

The disclosed multiple alerting service, provided through a mobile communication network, is controlled by the subscriber's home location register (HLR) and/or the mobile switching center (MSC) provisioned as the home MSC for the pilot number. A call to the pilot number triggers access of the subscriber record in the HLR, and the home MSC launches call legs to the subscriber's mobile station and one or more member numbers. An alternate available member number may be substituted, for example, if a station of one of the initial numbers is unavailable. If a call leg is answered, the home system completes the call to that leg and releases the other call leg(s). If completion to a group station is not possible, the home system redirects the call to an alternate termination, based on the subscriber's record, for example, to a voice mailbox associated with the pilot number in the home system.
