SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTEGRATING AN OUTGOING CELLULAR CALL AS AN ENTERPRISE CALL

摘要

In one embodiment, a network node (104) is operable, responsive to receiving (204) a request from an enterprise user (118) to initiate origination of an outgoing cellular call to a called party (120), for establishing (206) a first call leg to the enterprise user (118) by sending a circuit-switched call that identifies an enterprise address of the enterprise user (118) as a calling line identity. The network node (104) includes functionality for establishing (206) a second call leg to the called party (120) upon receiving an indication from the enterprise user (118) that the first call leg has been established. The first and second call legs are then patched (208) to establish an end-to-end communications path between the enterprise user (118) and the called party (120), wherein the enterprise address instead of the non-enterprise address is presented to the called party (120) as a calling line identity with respect to the outgoing cellular call from the enterprise user (118).
