A method for dynamically selecting a voice mail system to receive a call
on behalf of a cellular wireless subscriber. A radio access network (RAN)
receives a voice mail call request, and a policy server determines which
of a plurality of voice mail systems should receive the call from the
media gateway system. The policy server can make this determination based
on user profile logic and/or by voice interaction with the caller. In one
embodiment, the determination may be whether to set up the call to a
voice mail system provided by the subscriber's wireless carrier or rather
whether to set up the call to a voice mail system provided by an
enterprise that serves the subscriber.
