SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRIORITIZED ROUTING OF TELEPHONE CALLS TO A SUBSCRIBER

摘要

A cellular radio communications system maintains a prioritized routing list of several telephone numbers associated with a predetermined subscriber for efficiently establishing a communications link between a calling party and the subscriber. The telephone numbers of the several telephones associated with the subscriber are initially assigned relative priorities such that the telephones are sequentially alerted according to the prioritized routing lists of telephone numbers when a telephone call is placed to the subscriber. The prioritized routing list is subsequently reordered such that the telephone number from which the telephone from which the subscriber responded to the prior alert is assigned the highest priority will be initially alerted in response to the next telephone call placed to the subscriber.
