Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are a method, system and computer program product for managing unintentional disconnection of a communication device. A system detects a first device to a transmission has been unintentionally disconnected from an ongoing communication with a second communication device. The connected second device is signaled regarding the disconnection. Recording of a disconnection voicemail message for the disconnected first communication device is enabled before disconnecting the second communication device. The second device may set an expiration time on the disconnection voicemail message. Upon resumption of service, the disconnected first device is informed of a new voicemail message left by the second device during the disconnection. A disconnection-specific voicemail greeting may be recorded by a user of the disconnected first device's system for use when a disconnection occurs. The disconnection-specific voicemail greeting is played to the connected second device when disconnection occurs.
