Abstract
A multi-functional communications log maintains communication session information pertaining to attempted communication sessions with a user. The multi-functional communications log interfaces with a communications manager to detect a user-initiated communications log event and automatically and temporarily subscribe the user to receive presence information of presentities associated with the attempted communication sessions. The attempted communication sessions include voice communication sessions, text communication sessions and multimedia communication sessions.
