    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for establishing and maintaining communication between two or more communication devices coupled to communication networks. Some specific aspects relate to communication between a plurality of communication devices each of which is coupled to a respective network. Other aspects relate to establishing such communication by way of contact lists maintained and facilitated on systems coupled to the networks. Users of multiple communication networks, such as VoIP, PSTN and wireless, employ multiple communication devices to communicate with their contacts. For example, a VoIP enabled computer is necessary to access contacts on a VoIP network and a mobile or cellular telephone is used to access contacts on wireless and PSTN networks. A contact list, stored on one communication device, in some instances, cannot be accessed from another communication device. For example, a contact list stored in a VoIP enabled computer cannot be accessed from PSTN or wireless phone devices. Various embodiments described herein provide a convenient solution that can integrate contacts stored on different communication devices and make them accessible from a single device.

    Abstract translation: 本公开通常涉及用于建立和维持耦合到通信网络的两个或多个通信设备之间的通信的系统和方法。 一些具体方面涉及多个通信设备之间的通信,每个通信设备中的每个通信设备耦合到相应的网络。 其他方面涉及通过在耦合到网络的系统上维护和促进的联系人列表来建立此类通信。 多个通信网络(如VoIP,PSTN和无线)的用户使用多个通信设备与他们的联系人进行通信。 例如,需要支持VoIP的计算机来访问VoIP网络上的联系人,移动或蜂窝电话用于访问无线和PSTN网络上的联系人。 在一些情况下,存储在一个通信设备上的联系人列表不能从另一个通信设备访问。 例如,存储在启用VoIP的计算机中的联系人列表不能从PSTN或无线电话设备访问。 本文描述的各种实施例提供了一种方便的解决方案,其可以集成存储在不同通信设备上的联系人并使其可以从单个设备访问。

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing voicemail services to callers of wireless devices may include providing customized outgoing messages to callers based upon the caller's identification. A subscriber to the voicemail service may select one or more contacts associated with the subscriber to receive a customized outgoing message while the remaining callers receive a general outgoing message. The methods and apparatus may further include distributing voicemail messages from a subscriber's voicemail accounts to one or more social networking sites. The subscriber to the voicemail services may share one or more received voicemail messages via one or more social networking accounts associated with the subscriber.
