Abstract:
In one particular embodiment, the disclosure is directed to a method of processing a call. The method includes receiving location data, storing the location data in a data record, receiving a first call, playing an announcement, prompting for a caller's name, receiving the caller's name, and retrieving the data record. The location data is received via an interconnected network. The location data is derived from a proximity sensor that is configured to provide a proximity determination with respect to a mobile device of a subscriber and the proximity sensor. The first call is received at a primary destination address associated with the subscriber. The data record is retrieved to identify a selected address that identifies a communication device of the subscriber. The communication device is located within a proximity zone proximate to the proximity sensor.
