A telephone call and voice processing system is utilized for receiving telephone calls for an intended recipient via a voice-over IP telephone network. A voice server in conjunction with a telephony voice application identifies the intended recipient and accesses digital calendar information for the intended recipient as well as guidelines and rules for call handling that are established by that intended recipient. The call is then handled based upon the calendar data, guidelines and rules. The user can establish guidelines to handle different classes of users or different specific users in different ways. Additionally, the voice server can be controlled to connect the user at remote telephone numbers, such as at the location of a meeting, on the user's cellular telephone, at home, on a beeper. The user's calendar can be modified to record telephone activity. Upon identifying that a user is engaged in a telephone call, either incoming or outgoing, the voice server can identify the other party and record the call and duration in the user's calendar database. The other party can be identified by their telephone using conventional caller ID technology. Where the other party's telephone number is in the user's contact database, the name of the other party can be associated with the calendar information. |
