Abstract

A call management system enables each of multiple prospective callers to specify how to forward (e.g., direct or redirect) future calls to one or more target phone devices or users. For example, each of multiple persons provide call forwarding configuration information to the call management system. Upon initiation of a call by a user, the call management system intercepts and forwards a user's call in accordance with call forwarding configuration information previously provided by the user.
