An audio calling name and calling number delivery method is disclosed. When
a call is made from a calling party telephone to a called party telephone,
a message is sent from an originating service switching point (SSP)
associated with the calling party telephone to a terminating mobile
switching center (MSC) associated with the wireless called party
telephone. Typically, the message comprises the directory number of the
calling party telephone. A wireless trigger is tripped at the terminating
MSC and, in response, a query is sent to a service control point (SCP). A
home location register (HLR) associated with the wireless telephone is
queried to determine whether the wireless telephone is available. If the
wireless telephone is available, then a name and a number associated with
the calling party telephone is forwarded to a service node. The service
node places a call to the wireless telephone and an audio annunciation of
the name and the number is played to the called party.
