A caller may establish preferences regarding special call handling of a call
to
a called. The caller may be notified when a special call handling option is about
to be performed. The called may have the option of skipping the call handling option
or aborting the call. In another alternative, the preferences of the caller are
obtained and stored prior to the placement of the call. These preferences are then
used to guide special call handling during the course of the call. In this fashion,
the caller need not be a passive party relative to special call handling but may
provide input so as to help guide special call handling.
