A system is provided for connecting received calls, which may be voice or data calls having a common destination identifier associating the calls with a subscriber, to a selected at least one of one or more call options assigned to the subscriber. In one embodiment, the system includes a call detector, a voice call decoder, and a data call decoder. The call detector has an input for receiving the calls. It also has a first output and a second output. The detector provides a received call to the first output if it is a voice call and provides it to the second output if it is a data call. The voice call decoder has an input operably connected to the first output of the call detector for receiving the voice calls. It also has one or more outputs operably accessible to one or more voice call options for connecting the voice calls each to a selected at least one of the one or more voice call options. Likewise, the data call decoder has an input operably connected to the second output of the call detector for receiving the data calls. The data call decoder also has one or more outputs operably accessible to one or more data call options for connecting the data calls each to a selected at least one of the one or more data call options.
