Abstract: A telephone system is provided which allows a user to indicate their availability to receive phone calls and allows users to determine which other users are available to receive phone calls. The system allows for connection of phone calls between available parties, thereby eliminating unnecessary missed telephone calls and leaving and/or listening to repeated voicemails for the user. The system removes the uncertainty of whether a telephone call recipient is available eliminating frustration and wasted time for the caller. In one implementation, the system comprises an application or button installed on a telephone which may be activated to indicate to other users that the first user is available to receive and answer telephone calls.
