A system is implemented on an IMS network for automatically delivering multimedia greetings to calling terminals. A user configures a greeting profile stored on a called terminal, which includes at least one multimedia greeting file. The greeting file contains executable data configured for automatic execution (e.g., playback) on a mobile phone, computer, or other terminal, and may include audio, video, and/or other multimedia content. In operation, when the calling terminal initiates communication with the called terminal over the IMS network, if both terminals are multimedia capable, the network disables any resources that would otherwise be allocated for the initiated communication. Subsequently, the called terminal selects a greeting file in the profile, and transmits data from the selected file to the calling terminal. The selection is based on selection criteria in the profile and information about the calling terminal such as its ID and media capability.
