METHOD AND APPARATUS TO PROVIDE A SELECTABLE CALLER IDENTIFICATION

摘要

A communication infrastructure (200) and a corresponding method for providing a caller identification to a called party comprises a receiver (202) for receiving a communication and a corresponding first identifier from a communication device (400), a controller (206) for selecting a second identifier from a plurality of identifiers, each of the plurality of identifiers corresponding to the communications device (400), and a transmitter (204) coupled to the controller for providing the second identifier as the caller identification to the called party. The communication device (400) may be used to select the second identifier as well as signal a second communication infrastructure (300) to block calls before forwarding from the second communication infrastructure (300) to the first communication infrastructure (200).
