BACKGROUND

With the development of science and technology, there are more and more services that are available for users and capable of providing convenient services for users. There are also a variety of manners of activating these services. An elaboration is given below by taking a hotline service for example.

The hotline service is a service provided for users to realize a basic voice call conveniently and fast. There may be many methods for realizing the hotline service, for example, the following methods may be adopted: checking or unchecking a corresponding switch through a web page; activating or deactivating the service through a network management node; dialing a related service code by the user sending, by an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), a notify message to activate or deactivate the hotline service of a terminal. However, the former two methods require logging on a corresponding medium and the users need to be familiar with the medium, so the operability is poor for general users. The latter method requires the user to register in advance, and after the user registers successfully, the activating or deactivating of the hotline service may be realized in cooperation with an IMS server, therefore, if the user fails to register, the service cannot be realized. To sum up, the manners of activating or deactivating services in the related communication technology lack enough flexibility and usability for general users.
