Systems and methods for message-based advertising in a wireless communications network are described. A digital message is contained in a data packet set in transit from a terminal of a sender to a terminal of a recipient. At least one of the terminals is implemented as a mobile telephone. The digital message is received through a network connection. A processor determines a context for the digital message and matches the message context to content of advertisements stored in an advertisement database in order to identify at least one relevant advertisement. The data packet set is transmitted to the terminal of the recipient. A processor retrieves the relevant advertisement(s) from the advertisement database and generates a confirmation message containing a delivery status of the data packet set. The confirmation message includes the relevant advertisement and is transmitted to the terminal of the sender.

A method for routing calls between a third party telecommunications device (“TD”) and a subscriber TD associated with a primary service and a second line service (“SLS”) involves associating the SLS number of the subscriber, the primary number of the subscriber and the primary number of a third party via a common relationship number. Calls directed from a third party to the SLS number of a subscriber are routed to an SLS platform and redirected to the subscriber TD. Calls directed from the subscriber TD to the third party use the relationship number to route the call to the SLS platform. The combination of the SLS number and the relationship number identifies the third party calling number for call completion. Calls can be directed to and from an SLS number of a subscriber TD without having to coordinate the provisioning of a call through the subscriber's primary service provider.

A behaviour prediction algorithm predicts a call by monitoring user inputs to detect an action by the user suggesting the user may be about to instigate the call, and identifying a candidate callee for the call. A network address associated with the callee is also retrieved from a data store. In response to the behaviour detection algorithm predicting the call, a connection establishment message is transmitted to the network address via a network, so as to establish over the network a signalling connection for transmitting messages to a device available to the callee. After the connection establishment message has been transmitted, an explicit instruction is received from the user to instigate the call to the callee. In response to receiving the explicit instruction, a call invite is transmitted to the device via the signalling connection, thereby causing the device to output an incoming call notification. 1.
