Abstract

Processes and apparatus for collection and delivery of voice messages. The process includes identifying information indicative of a calling party attempting to complete a call to a another party and then identifying that a condition other than ring no answer or normal busy exists preventing the calling party from completing a call to the another party. In response to identifying that a condition exists that prevents call completion, the process includes storing a message from the calling party to the another party in a memory, storing the information indicative of the calling party in the memory and attempting to deliver the stored message to the another party at a later time.
