A method of routing a communication, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving over a first communication path an incoming call to a primary device telephony address;
- translating the primary device telephony address into a first connection indicator for a remote device associated with said primary device telephony address;
- transmitting a first data signal to the remote device, the data signal inquiring whether the incoming call is to be accepted at the remote device;
- receiving a second data signal from the remote device;
- determining whether the incoming call is accepted based on the second data signal;
- and
- conditioned upon the incoming call being accepted, establishing a second communication path to the remote device using the first connection indicator and connecting the first and second paths such that the incoming call is routed to the remote device.
