ABSTRACT:
A method and system are disclosed for implementing a tele-work service in an advanced intelligent network comprising a first service switching point connected to a first telephone station; a second service switching point connected to a second telephone station; and a service control point having a database that receives routing information for specifying routing of calls originally directed to the first telephone station and billing information for specifying billing of calls placed from the second telephone station. The method comprises the following steps: at the first service switching point, upon receipt of a call directed to the first telephone station, forwarding a request for routing information to the service control point; at the service control point, forwarding routing information to the first service switching point; at the first service switching point, routing a call originally directed to the first telephone station either to the first telephone station or the second telephone station depending upon the routing information; at the second service switching point, upon receipt of a call from the second telephone station, forwarding a request for billing information to the service control point; at the service control point, forwarding billing information to the second service switching point; and at the second service switching point, billing a call received from the second telephone station to either the first telephone station or second telephone station based upon the billing information.
