An arrangement for reducing the possibility of switching telephone users to another preferred carrier without the intent of the telephone user. When a record has been made in a data base indicating a change of preferred carrier, the telephone user is provided with an announcement indicating the change when the user makes a toll call. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention the user simply is informed and if the user wants to undo the change the user contacts the local carrier. In accordance with another embodiment the user is provided with a validation code and must enter the validation code in order to effect the change of carriers. In accordance with another embodiment the user is provided with a number of options including the keying of a request to effect the change of carrier, or cancel the change of carrier. Advantageously, users are informed of a change of carrier before they make any calls using the new carrier and before they receive any telephone bills identifying the change.

Méthode pour minimiser le risque de commutation d'usagers de téléphone à une autre société de télécommunications préférée sans l'accord de l'usager. Lorsqu'un changement de société de télécommunications a été consigné dans une base de données, l'usager est avisé du changement lorsqu'il fait un appel interurbain. Selon une des réalisations de l'invention, on informe simplement l'usager et si ce dernier veut annuler le changement, il doit communiquer avec la société de télécommunications locale. Selon une autre réalisation, l'usager obtient un code de validation et doit l'entrer afin d'effectuer le changement de société de télécommunications. Selon une autre réalisation, l'usager reçoit plusieurs options dont l'introduction par clavier d'une demande afin d'effectuer le changement de société ou de l'annuler. L'invention offre l'avantage d'informer les usagers du changement de société avant qu'ils fassent des appels et avant qu'ils reçoivent des factures téléphoniques indiquant le changement.
