SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING SIGNALING IN AN INTERNET PROTOCOL TELEPHONY SYSTEM

摘要

A user telephony device or an IP telephony software application on a user telephony device is capable of setting up a new telephony communication via an IP telephony system under any one of multiple service plans. The telephony device or IP telephony software application selects one of the service plans, possibly with user input, and records information about the selected service plan in a telephony communication setup request that is sent to the IP telephony system.
