A telecommunication system provides calling party identification for an unidentified
calling party while the subscriber is logged on to the Internet on their subscriber
line. If a call is made to the subscriber's line while the subscriber is logged
onto the internet on the subscriber line, the SCP determines whether the calling
party information is present. If the calling party information is not present (either
unavailable or blocked), the calling party is prompted to record their name (or
some sort of identification). The subscriber can choose to have the recorded identification
played on the subscriber's computer via the Internet. After listening to the audible
identification on the subscriber's computer, the subscriber then can choose to
reject the call, send the call to voicemail, terminate the Internet connection
and take the call, etc.
