`
`(Currently Amended) A system for enabling a-mobile telephone to initiate a call
`
`to a callee through a cha:nnelroaming. the system comprising:
`
`a processor circuit;
`
`a network interface in communication with said processor circuit; and
`
`a computer readable medium in communication with said processor circuit and
`
`encoded with codes for directing said processor circuit to:
`
`receive from the mobile telephqne an access code request message including a
`
`callee identifier associated with the callee and a location identifier identifying a location
`
`of the mobile telephone;
`
`communicate with saie-!!__routing controller to obtain from said routing controller
`
`an access code identifying the-a communication channel, said access code being
`
`determined from said location identifier and said access code being different from the
`
`callee identifier and useable by the mobile telephone to initiate a call to the callee using
`
`the channel; and
`
`cause an access code reply message including said access code to be transmitted
`
`to the mobile telephone.
