Abstract
A chase me method of routing a variable bit rate communication between a first terminal and a distant terminal over alternative networks including a circuit switched network and a packet network permits changing routing parameters remotely in response to user inputs including user requested changes in chasing parameters. A chase me system permits setting a chase me bit when a call is not immediately deliverable and chasing a subscriber even if the message is to be delivered by converting the message to text for delivery by paging the subscriber. A method of routing via alternative networks a calendar message, predetermined by the user for delivery at a prescribed date and time, may comprise the steps of receiving calendar input information regarding an event and a schedule; composing an event message; and chasing the user according to the reminder schedule and according to a predetermined priority of alternative network locations and terminal configurations to deliver the event message, wherein the alternative networks comprise a circuit-switched network and a packet based network.
