CA 2241748

Method and apparatus allow a caller to contact a called party with a collect call whether or not the called station is answered or is busy. When the caller dials a collect call access code, the call is routed to a messaging platform which collects the call information and attempts to complete the call. If there is no answer or if the called station is busy, the messaging platform retains control of the call and automatically prompts the caller to enter a name and a message to be delivered to the called party. After the name and message have been entered, the caller is given a confirmation number, if desired, which allows the caller to determine whether the called party has received the message. The messaging platform repeatedly attempts to deliver the message by calling the called party. Upon the call being answered, the messaging platform identifies the caller and prompts the called party to accept or refuse the collect message. If the called party accepts the message, the messaging platform plays it and the called party is charged for the message.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un équipement permettant à un demandeur d'entrer en contact avec un demandé grâce à un appel en PCV, que le poste appelé réponde ou soit occupé, ou non. Quand le demandeur compose un code d'accès au PCV, l'appel est dirigé vers une plate-forme de messagerie qui collecte les informations sur cet appel et tente d'établir la communication. S'il n'y a pas de réponse ou que le poste appelé soit occupé, la plate-forme de messagerie conserve le contrôle de l'appel et invite automatiquement le demandeur à donner un nom et un message qui seront indiqués au demandé. Après que le nom et le message ont été introduits, le demandeur reçoit, s'il le désire, un numéro de confirmation qui lui permet de savoir si son correspondant a reçu le message. La plate-forme de messagerie essaie de façon répétée de délivrer le message en appelant le demandé. Lorsqu'il est répondu à l'appel, elle identifie le demandeur et invite le demandé à accepter ou refuser le message en PCV. Si le demandé accepte le message, la plate-forme de messagerie en exécute la lecture et il est facturé au demandé.
