METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PREEMPTIVE REJECTION OF CALLS

摘要

Methods and systems consistent with the present invention screening calls. A first server receives information pertaining to a call to a user (110) from a calling party (120). The first server then determines whether a real-time call management function is enabled for the user and determines whether a calling party number associated with the calling party is valid when the real-time call management function is not enabled. A call screening function is performed when the calling party number is invalid. The first server provides a notification of the call to a device (114, 116, and 118) associated with the user when the real-time call management function is enabled. A second server initiates the call screening function when the user selects a call screening option included in the notification.
