Abstract: A telephony method and system deals with telephone calls related to advertisements, such as classified advertisements. When a caller responds to an advertisement, he inputs a reference to the advertisement. The advertiser or an agent is extracted from a database, and called. The advertiser is given the option of accepting the call, refusing the call or indicating that the advertiser wishes to receive no further calls. If the advertiser accepts the call, the advertiser is connected to the caller.
Abstract: A system and method for call-back handling are described. A call from a caller to a client, is received and the number at which the caller can be called back is determined. The call-back handler then initiates a telephone call to the client through a public service telephone network standard line, either locally or on a public telephone network, and waits for the client to accept the call. Then, the caller is called and the calls from call-back handler to client and to the caller are connected.
