Methods, systems, and apparatuses for caller identification messaging are
disclosed. According to one embodiment, a calling party uses a Caller ID
Messaging Device that supplants the incoming calling line identification
(ICLID) signal with a Caller ID Messaging Signal and transmits the Caller
ID Messaging Signal to a destination communications address. An alternate
embodiment provides that the calling party may use a conventional
telephone to access a communications network, activate Caller ID
Messaging Services, compose or retrieve a stored Caller ID Message of the
Caller ID Messaging Signal, and transmit the Caller ID Messaging Signal
to the destination communications address. The Caller ID Message and
Caller ID Messaging Signal may include text, video, voice, and/or digital
data.
