Claims (30)

1. A conversation initiation method for initiating a conversation, the method comprising:

obtaining, by an application of a calling telecommunications terminal, a presentation content;

sending, by the application of the calling telecommunications terminal, the obtained presentation content from the calling telecommunications terminal to a telecommunications terminal that is to be called;

initiating a call with the telecommunications terminal by the calling telecommunications terminal including sending an identifier of the telecommunications terminal to a telephone switch; and

requesting, from a user by the application of the calling telecommunications terminal, confirmation whether the presentation content should be sent to the telecommunications terminal that is to be called,

wherein the application of the calling telecommunications terminal is deactivated or out on standby when the user response is a negative response,

wherein the call by the calling telecommunications terminal is made after the presentation content has been received by the telecommunications terminal, and

wherein the application of the calling telecommunications terminal is executed by a triggering following an activation of a call function.

2. The conversation initiation method according to claim 1 , wherein obtaining the presentation content comprises obtaining a text from a user of the calling telecommunications terminal.

3. The conversation initiation method according to claim 2 , wherein the text is obtained in a pop-up window.

4. The conversation initiation method according to claim 1 , wherein the presentation content is sent with a name of a caller so that said name is displayed together with said content.

5. The conversation initiation method according to claim 1 , wherein the sending of said content comprises sending a short message service (SMS) message, an unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) message, or a multimedia messaging service (MMS) message.

6. The conversation initiation method according to claim 1 , wherein the call is not made to the telecommunications terminal that is to be called until after a predetermined duration has elapsed after the presentation content has been sent.

7. The conversation initiation method according to claim 1 , wherein the call is made only after receiving an acknowledgement of receipt of the content indicating that the content has been received by the telecommunications terminal that is to be called.

8. The conversation initiation method according to claim 1 , wherein the telecommunications terminal is a mobile terminal.

9. The conversation initiation method according to claim 1 , wherein the content is signed by cryptographic means or is encrypted.

10. An audio conversation method initiated by the initiation method according to claim 1 .

11. A computer application performed by a processor of a first telecommunications terminal for executing:

obtaining, by an application of the first telecommunications terminal, a presentation content;

sending, by the application of the first telecommunications terminal, the obtained presentation content from the first telecommunications terminal to a second telecommunications terminal that is to be called;

initiating a call with the second telecommunications terminal by the first telecommunications terminal including sending an identifier of the second telecommunications terminal to a telephone switch; and

requesting, from a user by the application of the calling telecommunications terminal, confirmation whether the presentation content should be sent to the telecommunications terminal that is to be called,

wherein the application of the calling telecommunications terminal is deactivated or put on standby when the user response is a negative response,

wherein the call by the first telecommunications terminal is made after the presentation content has been received by the second telecommunications terminal, and

wherein the application of the calling telecommunications terminal is executed by a triggering following an activation of a call function.

12. The application according to claim 11 , further comprising requesting a user to identify the presentation content in response to a user dialing a telephone number together with an alphanumeric sequence for triggering the content definition function.

13. The application according to claim 11 , further comprising obtaining the presentation content each time a user dials a telephone number.

14. The application according to claim 11 , further comprising inquiring a user whether the presentation content is to be sent on each occasion that the user dials a telephone number.

15. A portable electronic entity including a memory having an application according to claim 11 stored therein.

16. The portable electronic entity according to claim 15 , wherein the portable electronic entity comprises a microcircuit card of the ID-000 format, with the application being stored in a microcircuit of the card.
