ABSTRACT:
A voice mail system includes SS7 signaling capabilities to communicate on a telephone signaling network. The voice mail system uses those capabilities to obtain routing information, for sending a recorded message to a destination mail system, by sending a query message to either a destination central office storing called party profile information or an intelligent signaling transfer point (ISTP) storing the called party profile information. The voice mail system records a voice mail message from a subscriber, and collects a destination telephone number indicating the intended recipient of the recorded message. The voice mail system generates a query message, and receives a response message via the signaling network from a non-AIN database, such as the destination central office or the ISTP. The voice mail system then initiates a line-sided connection with the destination voice mail system, and either sends SS7 signaling messages to identify the called party if the destination voice mail system has SS7 capabilities, or generates DTMF tones representing the called number when prompted.
