METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SHARED LINE FMFM SUB-MAILBOX DETERMINATION, DYNAMIC OUT DIALING AND CALL PATH DUPLICATION IN A TELEPHONE SYSTEM
摘要
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for a shared line Find-Me-Follow-Me (FMFM) voicemail application. Each person sharing a telephone number is provided a sub mailbox with FMFM contact numbers individually configured for each user sub mailbox. The invention further provides a method and apparatus for dynamic out dial determination that removes numbers from the FMFM contact number list that match numbers in the inbound call path to avoid looping. The present invention further provides a method and apparatus for FMFM call path duplication of the inbound call path onto the out dial call information to provide caller identification for the original calling party after the call is forwarded or processed using FMFM.
