Abstract: Apparatus and methods for integrating multi-mode communication modalities are implemented in a communication platform nexus which is coupled to the public switch telephone network, a wide area data network and a wireless communication network. The communication platform receives communication attempts directed at a subscriber, from communication devices without regard to their underlying network transport medium. The platform receives and processes communication attempts and forwards attempted communications to the subscriber over all of the communication media available to the platform, simultaneously. Caller-id information is directed to a subscriber along with an interactivity option selection list, over a wide area data network link. A subscriber enters interaction options selections as call control signals and forwards the signals to the platform over the wide area data network link.
