The present invention allows a subscriber to dynamically select one or
more call processing options while an attempt to terminate an incoming
call to an associated terminal is being made. As such, the terminal is
either ringing or providing some other indication that an incoming call
is being received. Throughout the process, the incoming call may be
answered via the terminal. While the attempt to terminate the call is
being made, an incoming call message is sent to a computing device
associated with the subscriber. The computing device, upon receiving the
incoming call message, will provide one or more call processing options
to the subscriber. If the subscriber selects one of the call processing
options, the computing device will send a subscriber response message
identifying the selected call processing option. Based on the selected
call processing option, the incoming call will be processed accordingly.
