Abstract
A communication system allows a receiving party to request additional time to accept a communication. A telecommunications device of a receiving party detects when the receiving party has indicated a desire for an extended period of time in which to accept an incoming communication. A message is sent to a network communications processor that indicates the receiving party has requested additional time to accept. The network communications processor then processes the communication by resetting or extending a communications availability period associated with the incoming communication.
