Abstract
A method of routing an incoming telephone call to a called party having plural telephone numbers in which a telephone call for the called party is received at a switching system, and automatically screened to determine where the received call is to be routed among plural devices with different telephone numbers for accessing the called party, where the devices may include a wireless telephone and a pager. The screening step determines whether the received call is to be routed to the wireless telephone and the pager. If the received call is to be routed to the wireless telephone and the pager in response to the screening, it is routed in parallel.
