Abstract
A switching system receives a first message for a call and transfers a second message. A centralized processing system processes the second message to identify first route information and redirect capability for the first called party, and transfers a third message indicating the first route information and redirect capability. The switching system processes the third message to initiate first communications between the caller and first called party. The switching system receives and processes a fourth message from the first called party indicating redirect information for a second called party to transfer a fifth message indicating the redirect capability and the redirect information. The processing system receives and processes the fifth message to identify second route information, and transfers a sixth message indicating the second route information. The switching system processes the sixth message to initiate second communications with the second called party.
