<p>A system, method, and apparatus for retrieving a telephone call that has been diverted from an originally called user telephone to an alternative destination, such as a voice mail system or another user telephone. An incoming call directed toward the called user telephone is received at an exchange. The exchange routes the call to the called user telephone and monitors the call to determine if the called user telephone answers the call within a predetermined period. If not, the exchange reroutes the call to the alternative destination. Subsequently, a request is received to retrieve the rerouted call for connection with the originally called user telephone. In response, the exchange connects the call with the originally called user telephone.</p> |
