The present invention allows a subscriber to dynamically select one or more call processing options while an attempt to terminate an incoming call to an associated terminal is being made. As such, the terminal is either ringing or providing some other indication that an incoming call is being received. Throughout the process, the incoming call may be answered via the terminal. While the attempt to terminate the call is being made, an incoming call message is sent to a computing device associated with the subscriber. The computing device, upon receiving the incoming call message, will provide one or more call processing options to the subscriber. If the subscriber selects one of the call processing options, the computing device will send a subscriber response message identifying the selected call processing option. Based on the selected call processing option, the incoming call will be processed accordingly.
