ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for setting user communication parameters for a voice communication between a calling party and a called party, whereby at least one of the calling party and the called party include at least a first user and a second user. In the present invention, after a voice communication is established between the parties, a user communication parameter of the first user is set if the first user is determined to be a registered user in accordance with the first user's identification. If the first user passes the communication to the second user, the communication parameter is changed to that of the second user by determining the second user's identification. The present invention also provides a method and apparatus for setting user communication parameters based on priority information of the users if the first and second users are in the communication simultaneously. The priority may be determined by one of order of participation in the communication, pre-assigned priority and amount paid to a service provider. If the priority is the same between users, a secondary determination may be made by another one of order of participation in the communication, pre-assigned priority and amount paid to a service provider.
