Abstract:
A system and method are disclosed for a user to monitor and/or override a forwarded call. Typically, the forwarded call was initially an incoming call from a caller to the user and thereafter forwarded to a remote service system, such as a remote messaging system. The system and method determine a redirecting number from which the incoming call was forwarded. The system and method then initiates a second call to the user and a voice path is established connecting the forwarded call to the second call. Thereafter, the user is notified, for example, with a distinct ring at the user's telephone, of the option that the user may monitor and override the forwarded call. The system and method can also execute procedures to actuate the options elected by the user.
Abstract:
A communication device is removable and operable within a vehicle and is in communication with a data network as the communication device travels in the vehicle. Vehicle identification data is obtained from the communication device, and a type of media file supported by a media system of the vehicle is determined based upon the vehicle identification data. Media content is obtained in a format corresponding to the determined type of media file. When the communication device is within a desired range of a target location, the media content is transmitted to the communication device for presentation on the media system of the vehicle.

Abstract:
Methods and computer-readable media for providing a recommendation and for rerouting calls are disclosed. For example, a method detects updated status information regarding a contact of a user and determines whether the updated status information signifies an event of interest. When the updated information is determined to signify an event of interest, the method provides to a device of the user a recommendation that the user should communicate with the contact. The recommendation includes an indication of the event of interest.

Abstract:
A method includes receiving a request from a television network server via a message mediation server for call log entries associated with multiple calls delivered to a telephony device. The method includes sending call log information to the television network server to enable display of the call log entries at a display device. The method includes receiving user input to delete a call log entry of the call log entries from a second media device via the message mediation server. The method includes deleting the call log entry from the call log information to generate revised call log information. The method includes receiving a second request from the television network server for the call log entries. The method includes sending the revised call log information to the television network server via the message mediation server to enable display of the call log entries at a second display device.
