In a communication network, a user establishes a profile, which is stored on the network. The profile includes a default multimedia greeting and additional greetings, each associated with one or more communication identifiers listed in the profile, e.g., the identifiers are mobile phone numbers of persons who may contact the user. Each greeting is an executable data file configured to play on a mobile phone, computer, or other terminal, and may include audio and changing image multimedia content. In operation, when a calling party calls the user's terminal, the identifier of the calling party's terminal is cross-referenced to the profile. If the identifier is not in the profile, the default greeting is transmitted to the calling party from a network media server. If the identifier is in the profile, the greeting associated with the identifier is transmitted. The greeting is played until the user answers the communication. |
