Abstract

A method for use of voice call restriction data to restrict mailbox-to-mailbox message transfers. When a subscriber logs into his or her voice mail box and seeks to send a voice mail message to another subscriber's voice mail box, reference will be made to voice call restriction data that indicates whether voice calls are allowed between the subscriber and the other subscriber. If the voice call restriction data indicates that voice calls are allowed between the subscribers, then the voice mail system will allow the requested mailbox-to-mailbox message transfer. On the other hand, if the voice call restriction data indicates that voice calls are not allowed between the subscribers, then the voice mail system will not allow the mailbox-to-mailbox message transfer.
