Abstract
Very flexible call management is achieved by a method for handling a call setup request (--, . . . ) from A party (A. . . A) to a B party (). A reachability server (RS) receives (-) the B party's multiple simultaneous caller groups, profiles, redirection settings and associations thereof. Each time the B party's reachability changes, he indicates his current profile (---). Based on the call setup request, the server (RS) determines the A party's identity. Based on the A identity, one of the multiple simultaneous caller groups is determined. Then one of the multiple associations that corresponds to the determined caller group and the current B party is determined. Finally, the call setup request is processed according to the redirection setting of the determined association. The redirection settings may indicate a changed call mode, such as chatting, in case the B party is unable to take a voice call.
