Systems and methods allowing a third-party to redirect a telephone call
according to an intended call recipient's preferences are disclosed.
Calls received at a switch for a subscriber are suspended while a query
is sent via AIN or other data networks to a communications center device
associated with the called party number. If the call is intended for
another user of the subscriber's telephone, a third party, the actual
recipient of the call notification may redirect the call to the intended
user without directly interfacing with the calling party. The user may
select one or more options provided to route the call according to
predefined profile information provided by the intended call recipient.
