Apparatuses and methods involving parking communications

A method comprising:

• storing client-specific sets of data which respectively indicate, for each of a plurality of remotely-situated disparate client entities (“client entities”), data communications services including data-communications call routing services and parked-call services to be provided on behalf of a client entity from among the client entities;
• via a data-communications server which includes one or more computer processor circuits and one or more data communication circuits, accessing the client-specific sets of data and, in response, receiving incoming calls involving user endpoint devices associated with respective ones of the client entities and providing the data communications services to the client entities in a manner consistent with the client-specific sets of data;
• and
• for an incoming call from among the incoming calls, conveying one of multiple call-related context indications to a user endpoint device from among the user endpoint devices, for informing on how the incoming call (“the call”) may be processed for a change to or from a parked call status.

A storage device including computer instructions which, in response to being executed by a computer-based circuit, cause a method to be carried out, the method including the steps of:

• storing client-specific sets of data which respectively indicate, for each of a plurality of remotely-situated disparate client entities (“client entities”), data communications services including data-communications call routing services and parked-call services to be provided on behalf of a client entity from among the client entities;
• accessing the client-specific sets of data and, in response, receiving incoming calls involving user endpoint devices associated with respective ones of the client entities and providing the data communications services to the client entities in a manner consistent with the client-specific sets of data;
• and
• for an incoming call from among the incoming calls, conveying one of multiple call-related context indications to one of the user endpoint devices, for informing on how the incoming call may be processed for a change to or from a parked call status.
