ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided with a storage medium having stored therein programming instructions that implement a set of communication services for bridging a voice call from a caller to a calle, and an execution unit coupled to the storage medium for executing the programming instructions. The communication services include call management services for transitioning the voice call through a plurality of call states [including a call holding state] while connecting/disconnecting the caller and the callee, and facilitating selective provision of information in non-audio form to the caller [in at least the call holding state] while transitioning the voice calls through the call states. The caller is also equipped to receive non-audio information.
