Method and system for routing telephony communications together with modified calling party identifier information

A system comprising:

• a. a routing entity for routing a telephony communication from a calling party communication device to a first called party communication device together with calling party identifier information associated with the calling party communication device;
• b. a processing entity for:
• i. receiving an identification of a second called party communication device to which the telephony communication should be routed;
• ii. generating modified calling party identifier information, via manual input by a user of the first called party communication device associated with the telephony communication on the basis of modification information received from the first called party communication device,
• iii. causing said routing entity to route the telephony communication to the second called party communication device together with the modified calling party identifier information,
• wherein the modified calling party identifier information comprises ID information associated with a user of the first called party communication device and ID information associated with a user of the second called party communication device, the first called party and the second called party being distinct parties.

A network entity, comprising:

• a. a processing unit for:
• i. causing a telephony communication originating from a calling party communication device to be routed to a first called party communication device together with calling party identifier information associated with the calling party communication device;
• ii. receiving an identification of a second called party communication device to which the telephony communication should be routed;
• iii. generating modified calling party identifier information, via manual input by a user of the first called party communication device associated with the telephony communication on the basis of modification information received from the first called party communication device;
• b. an output for releasing the modified calling party identifier information to a routing entity such that the telephony communication is routed to the second called party communication device together with the modified calling party identifier information,
• wherein the modified calling party identifier information comprises ID information associated with a user of the first called party communication device and ID information associated with a user of the second called party communication device, the first called party and the second called party being distinct parties.

A non-transitory tangible computer-readable storage medium comprising a program element for execution by a network entity, said program element comprising:

• a. a first program code for identifying a calling party identifier associated with a calling party communication device;
• b. a second program code for causing a telephony communication originating from the calling party communication device to be routed to a first called party communication device together with the calling party identifier information associated with the calling party communication device;
• c. a third program code for generating modified calling party identifier information, via manual input by a user of the first called party communication device, upon receipt of an identification of a second called party communication device to which the telephony communication should be routed;
• d. a fourth program code for causing the telephony communication to be routed to the second called party communication device together with the modified calling party identifier information,
• wherein the modified calling party identifier information comprises ID information associated with a user of the first called party communication device and ID information associated with a user of the second called party communication device, the first called party and the second called party being distinct parties.
