Abstract
A system and method for providing advanced voice services in a wireless communications network. The system includes at least one server that exchanges messages with mobile units, in order to indicate that a user is neither online or offline, but is temporarily unreachable or unavailable. The user may be temporarily unreachable or unavailable due to connectivity issues with the user's mobile unit in the wireless communications network. Presence information for the user is distributed from the server to watchers, wherein the presence information indicates that the user is offline when the user is temporarily unreachable or unavailable. Various techniques may be implemented to determine how long the user's mobile unit must remain connected to the wireless communications network, before the presence information indicates that the user is online.
