System and method to notify subscribers of call terminating treatment

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is directed to telecommunications systems and methods for notifying a called subscriber of call terminating treatment applied by the network to calls unable to be completed to the called subscriber at the terminal associated with the originally dialed called party number.
When a call to a called subscriber is not completed to the called subscriber at the called party number, the network logs call information, such as the calling party number, calling party name (if available) and the date and time the call was received.
In addition, the network also logs call treatment information, such as the called party number that the call was forwarded to, an indication of whether or not the call was completed to the forwarded-to number, an indication that the network was busy or an indication that the called mobile subscriber could not be located.
This call information and call treatment information is later provided to the called subscriber.
For example, if the called subscriber is a wireless subscriber, the network can send a short message to a Mobile Station (MS) associated with the mobile subscriber when the MS next registers with the network.
This short message can be displayed to the called subscriber on the MS.
Alternatively, if the called subscriber is a wireline subscriber that subscribes to a voice mail system, the network can forward the call information and call treatment information to the voice mail box associated with the called subscriber for later retrieval by the called subscriber.
