A voice mail method screens calls made by a calling subscriber ( 10 ) to a called subscriber ( 20 ) which is unavailable (or otherwise screening calls). The screening method determines ( 110 ) whether the called subscriber ( 20 ) has a voice mail screening feature. An internet protocol multi-media system ( 50 ) receives the call from the called subscriber ( 114 ). The internet protocol multi-media system then transfers call control to a voicemail screening server which plays subscriber ( 20 ) the beginning of the voicemail message being left by subscriber ( 10 ) and offers to-route the call back to the called subscriber ( 20 ). The called subscriber then indicates via a short code whether the called subscriber will accept the call ( 124 ). |
