Abstract
An example provides performing a pseudo-call operation to obtain call information and sharing the call information prior to placing the actual call, the example may include receiving a call invite message from an out of band network, transmitting a call alert message to a terminating network indicating a time period, a calling number and a called number, receiving a call at the terminating network from another network, determining whether the calling number and the called number match the received calling number and the called number and the call was received within the time period, and pairing call content with the call.
Claims20
A method performed by a terminating network, the method comprising:
- receiving a call alert message from an out-of-band network, the call alert message indicating a time period, a calling number, and a called number associated with a call originated by a call originator and terminated at the terminating network, wherein the calling number and the called number are provided to the out-of-band network via an SIP invite message from the call originator;
- receiving a call from an other network via a received calling number;
- determining that the calling number and the called number match the received calling number, and that the called number and the call were received within the time period;
- and
- pairing call content with the call in response to the determining.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor of a terminating network that executes instructions stored in a memory to configure the processor to:
- receive a call alert message from an out-of-band network, the call alert message indicating a time period, a calling number, and a called number associated with a call originated by a call originator and terminated at the terminating network, wherein the calling number and the called number are provided to the out-of-band network via an SIP invite message from the call originator;
- and
- determine that the calling number and the called number match a received calling number associated with a call from another network, and that the called number and the call were received within the time period, and
- pair call content with the call in response to the determination.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of a terminating network, cause the processor to perform:
- receiving a call alert message from an out-of-band network, the call alert message indicating a time period, a calling number, and a called number associated with a call originated by a call originator and terminated at the terminating network, wherein the calling number and the called number are provided to the out-of-band network via an SIP invite message from the call originator;
- receiving a call from an other network via a received calling number;
- determining that the calling number and the called number match the received calling number, and that the called number and the call were received within the time period;
- and
- pairing call content with the call in response to the determining.
