Abstract
A method of redirecting a call from a data processing system to another address. In a preferred embodiment, a notice of an incoming call received from a server at a data processing system. This notice may include caller identification information as well. The user of the data processing system is prompted for an address to which the user wishes the call to be redirected. The user then identifies and sends to the server a new address to which the incoming call is to be redirected. The server then redirects the call to the new address.
