The invention is concerned with a method in a telecommunications terminal, e.g. amobile phone, comprising an identification module with several subscriber numbers, of invoking desired services provided by different service providers. In the method a category of an incoming or outgoing call can be determined. A desired service is selected, in accordance with the category determined, among the services provided by a service provider associated with the mobile phone through service access numbers stored in the module. There is called to a service access number of the service provider providing a desired service in accordance with a certain call handling function by means of which the desired service can be invoked and charged in different ways, whereafter the service provided by the service provider is invoked. The invention is also concerned with a telecommunications terminal and the use of the terminal in different roles, such as a private person, an employee and as a member in different organizations. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION One object of the invention is to support a user to use a single terminal in different roles, i.
e.
as a private person, an employee, a member in an organization etc.
Another object of the invention is to make it possible for a user to see in which of these roles an incoming call has been made.
A further object of the invention is to make different services available to support these roles.
Thus, there is a need for more practical solutions to make it possible to choose among different service providers, thereby extending the possibilities for different services, increasing the possibilities of invoking different services and the ways of charging the services used in the desired way.
Still one object of the invention is to provide a possibility while having one subscription with one network operator to select among several separate services, e.
g.
associated with membership in various associations, by the same mobile phone so that the one or more of the above requirements are fulfilled.
A further object of the invention is to provide a possibility to connect desired services during an ongoing call.
Still one object of the invention is to provide a possibility, wherein the call in connection with the service selected can be registered to be paid as wished either by the user of the phone, the caller or a preferred service provider.
The method of the invention is used in a telecommunications terminal, comprising an identification module with several subscriber numbers, for invoking desired services provided by different service providers.
The invention is especially advantageous in connection with mobile phones but is equally useful in other kinds of radio terminals.
The method of the invention is mainly characterized by determining a category for an incoming or outgoing call, and in accordance with the category determined, selecting a desired service among the services provided by a service provider associated with the terminal through service access numbers stored in the identification module
