The present invention utilizes caller ID information from an incoming call to a telephone subscriber to automatically call a paging system (10) and page the subscriber if the subscriber satisfies predetermined criteria. The caller ID information is sent to the paging system (10) and transmitted to the paged subscriber to identify the caller. Such capabilities are utilized to automatically call back the calling party, or initiate a conference call by placing the caller on hold, paging the called party, and initiating a conference call when the called party answers the page. Further, the present invention transmits the proper original calling party information to a forwarding destination when call forwarding or transfer is utilized by the called party. Various embodiments are incorporated in: an answering machine (20) or voice mail system, adjunct boxes, local central offices, or alphanumeric paging and terminal equipment systems.
