The present invention provides a caller name delivery service
telecommunications system having caller screening and other options. The
system includes intercepting a call from a calling subscriber to a
desired called subscriber, as a first option, prompting the caller to
either speak his or her name, or speak or punch a pin number as a second
option, reviewing caller screen and caller pass-through lists to
determine whether the intercepted call is on either list, playing a
called subscriber announcement requesting voice identification of the
calling subscriber, recording the voice identification on a recording
medium, transmitting to the called subscriber the recorded voice message,
recording the telephone number of the calling subscriber and playing the
voice identification in a voice format by means of text to speech or
recorded digits to speech technology, and requesting the called party to
accept the call by a plurality of different options. The present
invention also includes a method for telecommunications involving caller
name delivery services.
