1. A system comprising:
circuitry configured for receiving one or more requests of at least one first device to establish at least one communication connection with at least one second device; circuitry configured for obtaining status information associated with the at least one second device for presentation to a user of the at least one first device, the status information derived from querying information currently stored on the second device; and circuitry configured for providing, based at least partly on user input of the at least one second device indicating a decline of at least one communication connection at least partly in response to presentation of the status information associated with the at least one user of the at least one first device, (i) at least one option for the at least one user of the at least one first device to enter at least one of a prescribed input to leave one or more messages for the at least one user of the at least one second device, wherein the one or more messages are of a type and format that depend at least partly on the derived status information associated with the at least one second device, and (ii) at least one option for the at least one user of the at least one second device to enter at least a different one of a prescribed input to at least one of alter or re-attempt at least one communication with the at least one first device, wherein the at least one of alter or reattempt depend at least partly on the derived status information associated with the at least one second device.
