Mobile access for cordless terminal mobility

A method and apparatus for providing services to a portable terminal in a radiocommunication system are disclosed. In circumstances where the portable terminal has roamed outside the service area of a home exchange, services for that subscriber can be handled by routing both a signalling link (e.g., carrying control information from depressed keys) and a call-bearing connection back through the home exchange so that the services need not follow the subscriber. This routing can be performed when the call is initiated or after services are requested.
