Abstract
A method and system for preventing calls in a telecommunications network from being connected during specified periods of time, such as when calls to the desired communication terminal have been forwarded to a new communication terminal in a new time zone and the subscriber at the calling communication terminal is unaware of the local time of the new communication terminal. According to the invention, a prevention device is provided which informs the calling communication terminal of the local time of the new communication terminal prior to connection and requests the calling communication terminal to confirm whether the communication connection should be made, or automatically prevents the connection from being made and informs the calling communication terminal that the connection will not be made. The telecommunications network can include mobile telecommunications devices.
