ABSTRACT:
A facility is provided to alert a subscriber whose telephone station set is connected to the Internet of a waiting call via the Internet connection. Specifically, a call that is waiting may be forwarded via the Public Switched Network to a services platform, which, in turn, establishes a connection to the subscriber using the Internet. The platform then notifies the subscriber of the waiting call via the Internet connection. The platform may then forward the telephone call to the subscriber via the Internet responsive to a subscriber request to do so with interrupting the subscriber's Internet connection.
