Apparatus (58), and an associated method, for facilitating delivery of
network-specific dialing codes to a mobile node (12). Broadcasts of the
network-specific dialing codes are scheduled by a broadcast scheduler 64
embodied at a cell broadcast center (38). Signals containing the codes
are broadcast and detected by the mobile node (12), thereby to download
the values to the mobile node. And, the downloaded dialing codes are
indexed (88) together with the dialing codes normally used by the mobile
node (12) to call the corresponding service centers (44). Subsequently,
when a call is placed to a service center, the dialing codes are
transposed (94), if necessary, to permit the call to a designated service
center (44) to be completed.
