Establishing telephone communications with secondary devices

摘要

A method, system, and apparatus, including a program encoded on computer-readable medium, for providing ring notifications in parallel to a primary incoming call are disclosed. An example method can include receiving, at a server system, a notification of a primary incoming call directed to a subscriber telephone number associated with a user device, notifying, by the server system, one or more secondary destinations of the primary incoming call based on the notification, sending, from the server system, an instruction to perform one or more operations to trigger forwarding of the primary incoming call to a telephone number associated with the server system, wherein the instruction is only sent after notifying the one or more secondary destinations of the primary incoming call, receiving the forwarded incoming call at the server system, and connecting, by the server system, the forwarded incoming call to a particular secondary destination.
