An alert-me management system for a telecommunications infrastructure and
a method of providing an alert-me service. In one embodiment, the system
includes: (1) distributed alert-me request servers configured to receive
and aggregate alert-me requests pertaining to uniquely identified
wireless terminals from calling parties and (2) an alert-me service
manager configured to receive the alert-me requests from the distributed
alert-me request servers, further aggregate the alert-me requests into a
table based on the uniquely identified wireless terminals, generate
status checks for the uniquely identified wireless terminals and respond
to the distributed alert-me request servers with positive alert-me
indications to prompt the distributed alert-me request servers to
generate alerts to the calling parties.
