A method and a mobile station by which a call can be initiated during the transmission of a set of short messages for making the initiation of the call more surely successful, because all mobile networks do not support the initiation of a call in the middle of the transmission of short messages but, instead, most of them support the transmission of short messages in the middle of an ongoing call. The mobile station temporarily ends the transmission (430) of short messages and waits until the end (450) of the transmission of a first short message before it begins the initiation (460) of a call with a mobile network. After beginning the creation of the call with the mobile network, the mobile station will begin the transmission (470) of the short messages that remained unsent, to the mobile network. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION To solve the above-mentioned problem or at least to mitigate it, a mobile station has been invented, which schedules the initiation of a call in between short messages to be transmitted.
Thus, the call can also be initiated in the middle of the transmission of short messages in most such GSM networks, where the network does not support the initiation of a call during the transmission of a short message.
A mobile station first transmits an uncompleted short message in full, closes the connection reserved for the transmission of the short message, and initiates a call.
After this, it begins to transmit the short messages that remained untransferred.
It is characteristic of a method according to the invention for initiating a wireless call by a mobile station also capable of transmitting short messages that when a user gives a call initiation command, it will be checked whether the transmission of a short message is going on, and when this is the case, the method comprises: holding the initiation of the call and the transmission of new short messages; after the transmission of said short message has ended, holding the initiation of the call until the data transfer channel used for the transfer of the short message has been released, after which it will be continued to initiate the call by sending a mobile network a call initiation command; and ending said holding of the initiation of the transmission of short messages.
It is characteristic of a mobile station, according to the invention, comprising a radio transmitter-receiver and an antenna for transmitting a short message via a mobile network to a second terminal; calling means for giving a call initiation command, that the mobile station comprises holding means for holding the initiation of the transmission of short messages in response to the giving of said initiation signal; indication means for indicating the ongoing transmission of a short message and for indicating the ending of such transmission of a short message; a radio transmitter-receiver for transmitting a call initiation command in response to an indication of the ending of the transmission of a short message following the initiation signal of said call; and in response to the transmission of said call initiation command, said holding means are arranged to end said holding
