    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for selecting and sending one of a plurality of responses to a call on a communications device. A user may select a default response or a custom response. When the user receives a call to a communications device, a set of responses is displayed on the communications device to facilitate selection by the user. A response includes a message and a call processing command. A message is in the form of an audio clip, text message, webpage, picture, video, etc. A call processing command, such as “accept call”; “reject call with voicemail”; “reject call without voicemail”; “place caller on hold”; “forward call to 555-555-5555”; “I will call you back”; etc. is performed along with the message. This plurality of responses can be organized by the user in groups associated with classes of callers, such as friends, family, co-workers, etc. In this manner, the responses available to the user when a call is received changes depending on the caller.

    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for completing a circuit switched service call in an Internet Protocol network are disclosed. For example, the method receives a session request. The method queries an tElephone NUmbering Mapping (ENUM) server for a called party of the session request, and determines if at least one Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) resource record associated with the called party is received from the ENUM server. The method determines if a Session Initiation Protocol Universal Resource Identifier (SIP URI) is returned, if the at least one NAPTR resource record associated with the called party is received, and processing the session request using the SIP URI, if the SIP URI is returned. The method determines if the processing of the session request using the SIP URI resulted in a successful call completion and processes the session request using a telephone URI, if the processing of the session request using the SIP URI resulted in an unsuccessful call completion.

    Abstract: A session request from a first subscriber is received at a first network component of a packet-based network. The session request comprises a request to establish a communications session between the first subscriber and a second subscriber. In the event the session request originated in a trusted network, the first network component permits access to unique resource identifier (URI) information associated with the second subscriber for use in establishing the communications session via the packet-based network. In the event the session request did not originate in a trusted network and in response to determining a security configuration associated with the second subscriber allows the first subscriber to access the URI information under the circumstances, the first network component permits access to the URI information for use in establishing the communications session via the packet-based network. In response to determining the security configuration prohibits access to the URI information by the first subscriber under the circumstances, the first network component forwards the session request to a second network component so as to establish the communications session via a public switched telephone network.
