Abstract
A system and method for providing simultaneous ringing service to a plurality of customer premises equipment. The method and system utilize a centralized database of subscriber information and a service node to make multiple outbound calls from the service node to multiple telephone lines assigned to a subscriber. The subscriber's telephone lines may include one or more wireless lines. Inbound calls to the subscriber's primary wireline are intercepted by the simultaneous ringing service and forwarded to the service node for processing.
