Abstract
A system and method for displaying a contact's availability information on a display of a voice over internet protocol (IP) phone includes sending a request for a selected telephone contact's availability information. The request is from the IP phone to a web service calendar module operable on a web server connected to the IP phone. The telephone contact's availability information is extracted from an application server connected to the web server. The availability information is formatted for display in a graphical user interface on the IP phone. The availability information for the telephone contact is then displayed on the IP phone to enable a user to determine when the selected telephone contact is available to receive a telephone call.
