A system and method for managing multiple mobile stations provisioned for
use by a single user with a common mobile identification number (MIN). In
an advanced intelligent network, a call control system may receive
requests to set one of the multiple mobile stations to an active state.
The call control system may also receive requests to set one or more of
the multiple mobile stations to an inactive state. The call control
system stores the active or inactive indication in a subscriber profile
database. When a request is made to register one of the multiple mobile
stations for service, the call control system determines if the mobile
station is active or inactive. If the mobile station is inactive, it is
not permitted to register. If the mobile station is active, it is
permitted to register.
