Abstract

An automated telephone call response system and method are provided for routing data base information obtained in an automated telephone call response to a subsequently selected live agent. A voice response unit receives caller identification information from a caller, retrieves a record on the caller based on the identification information, provides information requested by caller, permits the caller to select a live agent, and provides the live agent number to determine the network identification number. Accordingly, the live agent receives data base information on a caller at the time the live agent begins conversation with the caller.
