20080205618	CALL TRANSFER SERVICE USING SERVICE CONTROL POINT AND SERVICE NODE - A service node is used in the implementation of a call-transfer service in which a service call is transferred to a second agent from a first agent. A code receiver receives from a service control point, via a data link, at least one subscriber-defined call-transfer feature code that can be invoked by the first agent. A call-transferor transfers the service call to the second agent from the first agent in response to the service node receiving a signal from the first agent after the first agent invokes an elective call-transfer function using at least one subscriber-defined call-transfer feature code.	08-28-2008

The method includes receiving caller identification information for a caller, playing a current pronunciation of the audible caller identification information, prompting the caller to provide a pronunciation change indication, receiving a new spoken pronunciation of the audible caller identification information in response to the pronunciation change indication, verifying the new spoken pronunciation of the audible caller identification information with the caller, and storing information relating to the new spoken pronunciation of the audible caller identification information.	10-30-2008
20080279359	SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESTRICTING AND MONITORING TELEPHONE CALLS - Communications from a first communications address identified by a service user are controlled. Data of a communication from the first communications address to a third party communications address is received. The communication is disallowed when an identification number received from a party requesting the communication is not a personal identification number specified by the service user, the first communications address is a restricted address for which the service user has elected to disallow communications, and the third party communications address is not a priority communications address for which the service user has elected to allow communications.	11-13-2008
20090074174	INTERNATIONAL ORIGIN DEPENDENT CUSTOMIZED ROUTING OF CALLS TO TOLL-FREE NUMBERS - A customized routing service platform for routing international communications includes a receiver that receives, from an international gateway via a network node, international communication origination data for an international communication to a customer's communication address. A database server receives customer routing instructions from the customer via a web server. The database server stores the received customer routing instructions. The database server also retrieves stored customer routing instructions, and determines a destination communication address based on the international communication origination data and the retrieved customer routing instructions. A forwarder forwards the destination communication address to the network node for routing the international communication to the destination communication address.	03-19-2009
