Abstract
Call related information regarding a called party (i.e., callee information) is provided back to the calling party using a telephone capable of receiving information regarding a called party back from either the central office, from the called party's telephone itself, or in limited applications from a local identification module capable of confirming the identity of the called party based on the dialed telephone number. The receiving telephone may be capable of determining or storing local call related information for transmission back to select callers. The callee ID information may be transmitted using conventional FSK techniques, e.g., between the second and third rings, to avoid collision with conventional transmissions of caller ID information.
