Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0039988A1] A method and apparatus enables a given subscriber to efficiently receive and modify subscription information (400) related to a telecommunications service from an external point, such as a connection to the Internet (205). The given subscriber may use a software application, such as a web browser, to request (510) access to the subscription information. The WWW server (215) of the Internet routes (520) the request to the gateway node (105) of the telecommunications network (100, 180). Consequently, the gateway node may route (530) the request directly to the node (130, 185) storing the subscription information even when multiple nodes (130A, 130B, 185A, 185B) within the telecommunications network store subscription information for various subscribers. The given subscriber may (e.g., using the web browser interface) conveniently view (550) the entire range of available features (420) at once and/or request (560) modification of a customization (430) associated with an individual feature. For example, the subscriber may remotely add a new number to a list of numbers from which incoming calls are barred.
