Abstract

See full text

A method and system for selectively routing incoming calls to a requested called party wherein the requested called party is at least one of a group of individuals associated with a plurality of telephones. A database system sends a menu to a calling party so that the calling party may choose an option which corresponds to at least one individual associated with the plurality of telephones. Based on the option chosen by the calling party, the incoming call is routed to one or more destination directory numbers where the requested called party is most likely to be found. The user programmed database includes call treatment parameters corresponding to the most likely location of the requested called party at any given time. Each requested called party is associated with a distinctive alerting signal which is applied to one or more customer identified lines so that the requested called party is uniquely notified of an incoming call.
