Abstract: A method and a call routing system (CRS) are provided for routing an incoming call made to one of multiple numbers of a user to a call receiving client application (CRCA) deployed on one or more user devices when the called number is not reachable. The CRS, in communication with the CRCA deployed on one or more user devices, sets up a user account using one or more of the user's multiple numbers. The CRS detects availability of the CRCA on one or more user devices over a data network to accept an incoming call. The CRS receives the incoming call made to one of the numbers, when the called number is not reachable. The CRS routes the incoming call to the CRCA on one or more user devices over the data network on detecting the availability of the CRCA on one or more user devices over the data network.

Abstract: A method, a missed call client application (MCCA) deployed on a calling party device, and a missed call management system (MCMS) are provided for placing a missed call from a source number of the calling party device to a destination number of a called party device.

Abstract: A method for managing outgoing media messages (OMMs) employs a message management system (MMS). A first network component receives and routs a call attempt from a calling party to a second network component for establishing a communications link between the calling party and a called party. The second network component redirects the call attempt unanswered by the called party to the MMS on occurrence of an event, for example, the called party being busy, being unreachable, etc. The MMS obtains the OMM recorded by the calling party, provides access to the recorded OMM to the calling party via multiple access modes, and manages actions such as viewing, editing, withdrawing, forwarding, etc., performed on the recorded OMM. On receiving a withdrawal indication from a sender device, the MMS manages a withdrawal action on the recorded OMM by deleting the recorded OMM from the sender device and a recipient device.
