A method, system, and computer program product for implementing a custom, interactive call flow are provided. The method includes receiving a sequence of user inputs provided as part of an interactive call. The sequence of user inputs includes data path inputs, security inputs, administrative inputs, and a termination input. The method also includes identifying placement of the security inputs in the sequence, removing the administrative inputs and the security inputs from the sequence, and creating a custom sequence including the data path inputs, a placeholder representing the placement of the security inputs, and the termination input. The method also includes invoking a custom call flow from the custom sequence.

Files are easily located based on addresses associated with calls. When a call is processed to, or received at, an address, the address may be used to query a database. The database stores associates between addresses and files stored in memory. All filenames related to the address may be displayed, thus allowing a user to quickly launch the files associated with a calling number.

A method and system are provided for locating and retrieving stored computer files that are related to an incoming telephone call directed to a computer user. A called party receives a telephone call while the called party is operating her computer. A computer telephony interface receives caller identification information on the calling party and uses that information to launch a software synchronization program for locating files stored on the called party's computer that are related to the calling party. A dialog box is displayed on the screen of the called party's computer that provides the caller identification on the calling party and provides an icon for displaying a list of stored files related to the incoming caller. The list of files may be automatically presented to the called party, or the called party may retrieve the list of stored files by selection of the icon presented in the dialog box. Selection of one of the stored files by the called party causes an instance of an application program, such as a word processing program responsible for creation and storage of the selected file, to be launched for displaying the selected file.

A method and system are provided for caller control of telephone calls placed to telephone lines provisioned with a call waiting feature. A call waiting control feature is provisioned at the local telephone switch of the calling party. After a directory number of a called party is entered, a determination is made as to whether the called party has a call waiting feature, and if so, whether her telephone line is busy. If the line has an activated call waiting feature and the line is busy, the call attempt is terminated. If the called party's line does not have a call waiting feature, or if the line does have call waiting, but the called party's line is not busy, the call attempt proceeds. If the call attempt is to be terminated, a message may be played to the caller to alert the caller that the called party's line is busy, that a call waiting feature is activated on the called party's line, and that the call attempt is being terminated. The call waiting control method and system may be switch-based where the determinations as to the call waiting status and busy status of the called party's line are made from information from the called party's switch. Alternatively, the call waiting control method and system may be network-based where the determinations as to the call waiting status and busy status of the called party's line are made at a network component such as a service control point.

A system and method enables a caller to detect subscribers to a privacy screening service. The caller detection of privacy screening is initiated when a subscriber to the caller detection of privacy screening service places a telephone call to a called party. After the calling party enters the telephone number of the called party, the caller detection of privacy screening service places a query to an SCP. The SCP determines if the called party is a subscriber to privacy screening. If the called party is a subscriber to privacy screening, the call is not completed, and a message is sent from the SCP to the SSP indicating that this is a caller detection of privacy screening call. This information is forwarded from the SSP to a billing system for processing as a caller detection of privacy screening charge. If the called party is not a subscriber to privacy screening, the call is completed and normal charges accrue.
