Abstract

A method and system for transmitting a message obtained from a message delivery database in a calling name delivery service environment. A communication is received from a calling party directory number and directed to a code number. In response to the communication, a called party directory number associated with the communication is obtained. Next, an indication of a selected message is received from a list of messages. A prefix corresponding to the selected message is obtained from the message delivery database. The prefix and the calling party directory number are populated in a signaling message pertaining to the communication. The signaling message containing the prefix and the calling party directory number is transmitted to a network element serving the called party directory number. In response to receipt of the signaling message of the network element, a message translation of the prefix is obtained from a message translation database, and the message translation is transmitted to a called party display unit.
