ABSTRACT:
A method, system and telephone answering device for processing control scripts attached to voice messages provides a mechanism by which a caller can leave an interactive list of contact information. The scripts provide for control of a display and input responses from a keypad or other input device so that an entry on the contact information list can be activated in response to user input, thus returning the call. The list information displayed may be arbitrary textual associations with the underlying contact number. The contact information may also include e-mail addresses, so that activation of an e-mail list element will activate a text messaging service, if available. For wireless telephone devices, the method implementing the present invention may be operable at the service provider only, so that standard wireless telephones may be programmed to provide the interactive list from a provider-side interpretation of the scripts.
