Abstract

See full text

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for returning custom greetings to callers of a station that is not answering a telecommunications call. The greeting can be a specific message for one caller, while other callers receive a standard greeting. Callers are identified by incoming calling line identification or by a uniform resource identifier. The message can be time sensitive so that it is activated only at specified times. The message can also be used to elicit a request from the caller to access data in the called party's database. Advantageously, special messages can be left for individual callers without disturbing the normal answering process.
