摘要

A method and apparatus is provided for providing an automated selection of a telecommunication service from among multiple telecommunication services. In a telecommunication system (100) that includes multiple communication devices (102, 104) and a telecommunication infrastructure (110) including multiple local exchange offices (106, 108), multiple communication channels (112, 114), and multiple telecommunication services, a subscriber to the services of the telecommunication system is able to select a particular telecommunication service by transmitting a service request code via the subscriber's communication device, which service request code corresponds to a request for a telecommunication service. The telecommunication infrastructure then enables or disables the requested telecommunication service in response to receiving the request.
