A mobile communication device receives an incoming call signal (204), and activates a call alert function (206) to alert a user of the mobile communication device of the incoming call. The mobile communication device also presents the user with the alternative options (208) of auto-answering the incoming call, or answering the call normally. If the auto-answer option is chosen (210), the mobile communication device answers the call and transmits a pre-recorded greeting message (212) to the calling party, then puts the call on hold (214) until the user is ready to speak with the calling party. This avoids the disruption of having to answer the call immediately.
