  • Apparatus, and associated method, for completing a call to a packet-network, telephonic station
    Patent number: 7161932
    Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating a call to a packet-network, telephonic station, such as an SIP phone. The call is originated at a originating station formed of a telephonic station of a time-domain-multiplexing network. A call establishment creator is embodied at a media server forming a portion of the packet data network. A call, originated at the originating station, is routed to the call establishment creator. Once the call is routed thereto, an interactive session is formed between the media server and the originating station. During the interactive session, the information needed to ascertain the identity of the terminating station is ascertained, and the call is routed thereto.

    Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, by which to record and provide a voice mail message to a receiving party. A media server is provided and connected to a packet data network through which a call originated at a calling station is rerouted upon unsuccessful call termination at an intended receiving station. The calling party leaves a message at a message recorder, and the message is saved as a digitized file-formatted file. The file is attached to an email message which is forwarded, by way of the packet data network, to a destination at which the receiving party is later able to retrieve the email message and the file attached thereto.
