Abstract: Simultaneous ring control services provide control features for a calling party or a called party to override a simultaneous ring service to multiple associated communications addresses. According to some exemplary embodiments, the calling party can control routing of his/her outgoing communication signal to a selected communications address(es) associated with the simultaneous ring service and disable routing of his/her outgoing communication signal to other communications address of the simultaneous ring service. According to other exemplary embodiments, the called party may control an alternate message or alert to the disabled communications addresses such that the disabled communications address(es) receive a shared notification of the outgoing communication from the calling party and information of the communications connection among the calling party's communications device and the selected communications device of the called party.
