Abstract
A method of playing a recorded message to a caller when a called line is busy without actual connection of the call is disclosed. Utilization of the Advanced Intelligent Network is used to place calls attempting to reach a busy line into a queue in a service control point. The call is then connected to an intelligent peripheral, such as a service node, and plays a recorded message of the called party's choice. When the called party's line become idle, a call chosen from the established queue is then connected to it based upon a prioritization system established by the called party.
