A method for establishing a packet switched call at an access terminal, which is processing an established circuit switched call, enables a user to be informed that the packet switched call has been requested. The method comprises adding a call type indication to a call setup message in a serving network, where the call type indication indicates that the packet switched call is requested to be setup in a packet data radio access network in the serving network (step 1105). A message indicating that the packet switched call has been requested is then transmitted from a circuit switched base station to the access terminal (step 1115). A message indicating that the packet switched call has been accepted is then transmitted from the circuit switched base station to the mobile switching center (step 1125).
