Abstract: Systems and methods for terminating telephony communications to a mobile telephony device that is roaming outside of its native service area make use of a forwarding termination service. The forwarding termination service causes the native mobile telephony service provider that provides service to the mobile telephony device to forward incoming telephony communications directed the native telephone number of the mobile telephony device to a forwarding access number. The forwarding termination service receives telephony communications directed to the forwarding access number, and then terminates the telephony communication to the mobile telephony device via any one of multiple different methods. The mobile telephony service provider can be instructed to implement and cancel call forwarding instructions by dialing a special character string on the mobile telephony device.

Abstract: A single virtual telephone number that is used to route telephony communications is assigned to first and second users if the first and second users rarely, if ever, communicate with the same party. When an incoming call is received on the virtual telephone number, telephony information for the first and second users is reviewed to determine if the calling party is one that has communicated with either of the first and second users in the past. If so, the telephony communication is routed to the user who has communicated with the calling party in the past.

Abstract: An Off Net scenario may occur during primary communications between a first and second caller, in which the second caller is connected to a network over a data channel and receives a second call over a voice channel resulting in an interruption of the primary communications between the original callers. In the Off Net scenario, a message indicating the original communication has been interrupted is received by a carrier. The carrier substitutes another communication device in place of the second caller's communication device to establish a secondary communication between the first caller's communication device and the third communication device. The secondary communication may inform the first caller of the interruption of the primary communication and may provide options regarding the primary communication to the first caller.

Abstract: A method for responding to a push notification after a missed call between a calling party and a called party's mobile device is disclosed. The method includes sending a push notification request directed to the called party's mobile device indicative of a communication. The method then detects that the communication request has failed and enables a dial-back operation to the calling party.

Abstract: A system and method for making a VoIP-based and other types of group calls includes a user interface adapted for use by a group call administrator via the Internet, a database manager connected to the user interface, and a database connected to the database manager. In one embodiment, the group call administrator identifier and one or more group call invitee identifiers is a telephone number. The server responds to a group call request by initiating a first group call connection and initiating at least one or more second group call connections to join a group call administrator and at least one group call invitee. A method includes using call information from a database to initiate conference call connections and an administrator call connection to facilitate a conference call in which the administrators call connections and the participants connections are joined to allow communications between the participants and the administrator.

Abstract: A method and system for customized communication routing based on contact relationships including attempting to reach a first contact of a plurality of contacts in a contact list and determining that the attempt to reach the first contact failed. The method and system then invokes an alternative action to reach the first contact by an agency of at least one of the plurality of contacts. The alternative action is based on a relationship between the first contact and the plurality of contacts and includes contacting one or more second contacts through a voice call and/or contacting the first contact concurrent with one or more second contacts through a text message. The relationship between the first contact and the plurality of contacts may be determined based on information provided from one or more communication devices and/or based on information obtained from a social network.

Abstract: An IP telephony communication being conducted by a user telephony device is transitioned from a first communications path to an alternate communications path if a quality of the telephony communication falls below a threshold level. The user telephony device and/or elements of an IP telephony system handling the call could detect when the quality is below the threshold level. The communication might also be transitioned to a cellular based voice or video communications channel if the strength of a wireless data connection between the user telephony device and a wireless access point providing access to a data network falls below a threshold level. Further, the speed of movement of the telephony device may be taken into account in determining which alternate communication path should be used.
