Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of telecommunications. More particularly, to a method and an apparatus that would allow callers to time-share telephone, telecommunication or communication lines in order to truthfully vary the telephone line from which they are calling parties through the Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN). The system would allow customers to manage the identity of their calls in ways that would maximize the probability that a called party would answer.

Abstract: A method and system for metering a communication between users (10, 20) in an internet protocol (IP) telephony system (1). The method includes the steps of: using SIP telephony control messages (110-162) to control IP telephony communication between two or more users; and metering the communication on the basis of one or more SIP metering control message (130-154) from at least one of the users to control the metering. The internet protocol telephony system (1) comprises a server (30) for setting up IP telephony communication between the two or more users (10, 20). The server is arranged to use SIP telephony control messages to set up the IP telephony communication; metering means (42) to meter the communication. The metering means is arranged to receive SIP metering control messages from at least one of the users for control of the call metering. The ability to distinguish between chargeable and non-chargeable periods of the communication provides for more flexible metering suitable to support e-commerce.

Abstract: A configurable rating system provides the flexibility to define rating tariffs based on any number of input parameters, such as a service identifier, origin number, destination number, event type, or other parameter. At the same time, the configurable rating system simplifies the definition, debugging, and assignment of rating parameters which ultimately determine the calculated usage event rating. The configurable rating system implements a database table driven approach which may replace any number of custom rating functions with a single rating function which determines the appropriate charge amount regardless of the telecommunications product or service.

Abstract: A system for directing call from a user to a desired advertiser based upon a code in an advertisement. The system receives a call from a user. The user then inputs a code or password from the advertisement. The call is then forwarded to a desired advertiser based upon the input code. The advertiser is then billed for the call based on the type of call forwarded to the advertiser.
