<p>Voice Communication of Digits. The present invention relates to SIP networks and, more particularly, to digit collection in SIP networks. The SIP user communicates the digits to a Media Server through voice/speech. The Media Server collects the digits and checks to determine if the digits satisfy required Dual Tone Multi Frequency rules. The Media Server plays a prompt message to the SIP user to indicate start of session to collect the digits and the SEP user says character(s) to indicate that the SIP user has completed saying the digits.</p>
