Abstract
The invention includes a method for processing group calls. A group list is created having a plurality of group members and preferably includes for each group member whether the group member requires an affirmative response when contacted, and an identifier. A request is received from an originator to contact the group members. At least one of the group members is contacted, and an affirmative response is requested. After receiving the affirmative response, the originator and group member are connected. If no affirmative response is received, the group member is not connected with the originator.
