A switching system receives a first message for a call and transfers a
second message. A centralized processing system processes the second
message to identify first route information and redirect capability for
the first called party, and transfers a third message indicating the
first route information and redirect capability. The switching system
processes the third message to initiate first communications between the
caller and first called party. The switching system receives and
processes a fourth message from the first called party indicating
redirect information for a second called party to transfer a fifth
message indicating the redirect capability and the redirect information.
The processing system receives and processes the fifth message to
identify second route information, and transfers a sixth message
indicating the second route information. The switching system processes
the sixth message to initiate second communications with the second
called party.
