Patent number: 8144843Abstract: A system and method for providing easy access to messaging services in a telecommunications network having office switches that are used by different providers of telephone and messaging services. The system uses a supplementary services database to maintain customer records including whether the customer uses messaging services and whether the customer subscribes to a short dialing sequence service for access to the messaging services. The customer is connected to the central office switch, which analyzes the dialing sequences generated by the customer. When the customer attempts access to the messaging services, the customer dials a short dialing or message sequence, such as *XX. The central office switch triggers a query to the supplementary services database for a call forwarding number to the messaging service used by the customer when the selected short dialing sequence is recognized by the switch.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2009Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Tricia Ehlers Henry, Victor Piollet Mills, Jr., Margaret Jean Andrietsch, Diana Inara Tiliks, Rodney T Brand, Carlos H Donoso

Patent number: 7310418Abstract: A method of routing interLATA network traffic includes the steps of receiving a number of dialed digits at a first service switching point (18) in a first virtual network (10). Then a query is sent to a service control point (24). When the dialed digits result in the call to a facility (32) in a second virtual network (26) connected to the first virtual network (10) by a tie line (38), the call is routed to a hub service switching point (34) in the second virtual network (26) over the tie line (38).Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2003Date of Patent: December 18, 2007Assignee: SBC Properties, L.P.Inventors: Pitsa Madoch, John Wesley Moss, Richard John Ebel, Gerald Joseph Steffgen, Carlos H Donoso

Patent number: 7181201Abstract: A method and system are provided for routing a call to a called party's landline or wireless communication unit based on the availability of the wireless communication unit. A call placed to a called party's landline communication unit is routed to the called party's wireless communication unit if the wireless communication unit is determined available, otherwise, the call is routed to the called party's landline communication unit. Unlike past attempts to facilitate communication with a called party having wireless and landline communication units, these preferred embodiments operate automatically (without called party intervention) before a call is terminated at the landline communication unit and are responsive to the availability of the called party's wireless communication unit. Further, there preferred embodiments do not rely on complex, pre-determined hunting sequences or expensive adjunct customer premises equipment.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2004Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Assignee: SBC Properties L.P.Inventors: Richard N.
