Abstract
A system and method are provided for initiating a call to an intended called party on one or more alternate numbers based on availability of the called party, as determined by the called party's presence server or other database. If the called party is determined to be 'not available' and does not have any useful forwarding features enabled on his/her primary line served by a primary number, calls are attempted on one or more alternate numbers rather than on the primary number.
