Abstract:
Calls placed to a call recipient bypass the terminating messaging system, creating an enhanced message in the call originator's messaging system and delivering the enhanced message using alternate routing information. A caller creates enhanced messages for a call recipient even when the call recipient's messaging system does not support such functionality. The caller also embeds stored content and/or use links in the enhanced messages to allow the message to be modified and/or deleted before it is accessed by the call recipient.
Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, receiving a request for a voice call at a mobile switching center server, transmitting a mapping query from the mobile switching center server to a database in response to the request for the voice call, route the request from the mobile switching center server to an internet protocol multimedia subsystem for facilitating establishing the voice call when the mapping query is successful in obtaining an internet protocol address for establishing the voice call with a recipient communication device, and routing the request from the mobile switching center server to a second server for facilitating establishing the voice call without routing the request to the internet protocol multimedia subsystem when the mapping query is not successful in obtaining the internet protocol address. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A process that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, recording, by a mobile communication, media content in a first media format and accessing a wireless media system by way of a wireless communication network. A request is transmitted to the remote media system to store the recorded media content in the first media format. The recorded media content is transmitted to the remote media system, without retaining a copy of the recorded media content in the first media format at the mobile communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
