Abstract
Methods and systems for identifying redirected calls are provided. A method may include receiving data related to a call termination request. The call termination request may indicate call redirection. The method may also include selecting one of a plurality of distinctive rings in response to the data related to the call termination request. A first distinctive ring is selected when a redirect number address associated with the call termination request does not match a specified redirect number address.
Claims21
A method for identifying redirected calls, the method comprising:
- receiving data related to a call termination request, the call termination request indicating call redirection;
- and
- selecting one of a plurality of distinctive rings in response to the data related to the call termination request, wherein a first distinctive ring is selected when a redirect number address associated with the call termination request does not match a specified redirect number address.
A computer-readable storage medium comprising software executable by logic to implement a method comprising:
- receiving data related to a call termination request, the call termination request indicating call redirection;
- and
- selecting one of a plurality of distinctive rings in response to the data related to the call termination request, wherein a first distinctive ring is selected when a redirect number address associated with the call termination request does not match a specified redirect number address.
A method comprising:
- receiving data specifying a first distinctive ring;
- associating the first distinctive ring with a redirect number address;
- receiving data specifying a second distinctive ring;
- and
- generating a record indicating that the first distinctive ring is to be used for calls redirected from the redirect number address and the second distinctive ring is to be used for redirected calls not redirected from the redirect number address.
A system comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium comprising at least one record, the at least one record including an address identifier associated with a network address, wherein the at least one record specifies a first distinctive ring to be used when a call is redirected to the network address from a specified redirect number address, and wherein the at least one record specifies a second distinctive ring to be used when a call is redirected to the network address from a redirect number address other than the specified redirect number address.
