A telecommunications system (TS2) comprises a data network (IN1) and a telephone network (PSTN1) to which subscribers (AB1, AB2) are connected. Each subscriber has a telephone (T1, T2) with A-number transfer and a computer terminal (D1, D2) connected through access devices (ACD1, ACD2). A server (SR1) holding the subscribers' home pages and a directory (DS1) holding different identities (TELO1, TELO2, TELH2, EMAILO1, URL2) of the subscribers is connected to the data network. The directory (DS1) is public, which enables the subscribers to enter their respective identities and obtain the identities of other subscribers. One subscriber (AB1) calls the other (AB2) on his home telephone number (TELH2), which is transferred to the computer terminal (D1) of the caller (AB1). The subscribers (AB1, AB2) can talk, the caller (AB1) can obtain the identities of the called party (POSTS2) through his computer terminal (D1) from the directory (DS1) and use this information, for example, to open the called party's home page on the server (SR1). By A-number transfer the called party (AB2) can obtain the identities (POSTS1) of the caller (AB1), in a corresponding way, to his computer terminal (D2) from the directory (DS1). This way of communicating and keeping a directory is possible because the directory (DS1) is public. Advantages are, i.a. that the communication is simplified and the identities of other subscribers can be obtained easily. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention attacks the following problem: Any two subscribers in a telecommunications system can communicate by means of a telephone and a data connection.
The subscribers only know one or a couple of each other's identities in the telecommunications network, for example a telephone number or an e-mail address.
By means of one of the known identities they are to be able to obtain each other's remaining identities.
Another problem is that one subscriber wishes to be reached on a particular one of his identities, for example on a particular telephone number, without having to inform the other subscriber specifically.
Yet another problem is that one of the subscribers is to be able to reach the other subscriber's home page in the data network even when the address to the subscriber's home page is unknown to the first subscriber.
The problem is solved according to the invention by the telecommunications network having a public directory, accessible to all subscribers in the telecommunications system, and by connected telephones offering calling line identification.
The subscriber also has a computer terminal to which his phone is connected and can exchange telephone numbers both to and from the computer terminal.
The subscribers themselves can enter records into the directory, for example their different identities, such as telephone number or e-mail address.
When one subscriber looks for another one by one of this other subscriber's identities, the first subscriber gets access to the rest of the other subscriber's records.
When a connection has been set up between the subscribers, in one embodiment the second subscriber can also be given access to the records of the first subscriber from the directory.
In order to be reached on a certain identity, the subscriber chooses to activate this identity.
For example, the subscriber can choose between activating his home telephone number or his telephone number at work, and this activation can be made each time or according to a schedule entered into the computer terminal of the subscriber
