A method for remotely polling and accessing the contents of calls logs
across a telephone network is disclosed. The call logs contain
information about all of the phone calls placed across the telephone
network and are stored in network accessible databases that are located
either internal or external to the network. A subscriber using a computer
or phone in communication with the network can contact the network and
request the contents of one or more of these call logs. The network
processes the request and delivers the call log contents to the
subscriber.
