Telephone services

摘要

A method of recording and delivering a voice message from a calling telephone (1) to a called telephone (2) in the event that the called telephone (2) cannot be reached. A voice message (12) is recorded at the calling telephone (1) and is stored there until the calling telephone (1) receives a message (10) from the telephone network (3) that the called telephone (2) can now be reached. Upon receipt of this message (10), the calling telephone (1) initiates a call to the called telephone (2) and replays the recorded message (14) over the open voice channel.
