Method for connecting telephone calls in a mobile communication system

The present invention relates to a method for answering a telephone call coming to a mobile terminal in a situation where there is a packet-switched connection active in the mobile terminal, into which mobile terminal at least one reference item can be saved, and in which method a reception step is carried out, in which step information about the incoming call is received to the mobile terminal. The invention also relates to a mobile terminal, which comprises means for answering an incoming call in a situation where there is a packet-switched connection active in the mobile terminal, which mobile terminal comprises means for saving at least one reference item, and means for receiving information associated with the incoming call. Furthermore, the invention relates to a data transfer system comprising means for establishing a packet-switched connection between a mobile communication network and a mobile terminal, means for initiating a telephone call between the mobile communication network and the mobile terminal, means for associating at least one identifier with the telephone call, and means for saving at least one reference item, and which mobile terminal comprises means for answering an incoming call in a situation where a packet-switched connection is active in the mobile terminal. The invention relates to a method for answering a phone call coming to a mobile terminal in a situation where a packet-switched connection is active in the mobile terminal. At least one reference item (PN, UN, GNO, CL) has been saved in the mobile terminal. The method comprises a reception step, wherein information about an incoming call is received to the mobile terminal (MS). The method also comprises at least an examination step, wherein received information about a phone call is examined in a mobile terminal (MS) for finding at least one item of caller line identification (CLI), and it is examined whether reference items (PN, UN, GNO, CL) have been saved in the mobile station (MS). Then, if at least one reference item (PN, UN, GNO, CL) has been saved, a comparison step is carried out in the method, in which step said at least one reference item (PN, UN, GNO, CL) is compared to said at least one item of caller line identity information (CLI) discovered in the examination step. After that, a decision step is carried out in the method, in which step it is decided whether the call is answered or not. The decision is made on the basis of the comparison performed in said comp
