Abstract: A method and/or system for receiving or accepting and processing calls within a telephone network having lines, including a voice and a data channel, for connecting a caller to subscriber groups connected to the network. A subscriber group has an assigned network identifier via which all members of the subscriber group are able to be called by a caller. The calls intended for one subscriber group are distributed via a control to the individual members of the group on the basis of specifiable criteria, data records assigned to one connection being exchanged via the data channel, and the control being carried out by a control unit which is integrated in the network and has access to complete data records. A subscriber group may have an assigned control unit which automatically decides on the connection of a call to a special member of the group.
