Abstract

A method of playing a personalized clip offers a choice between a clip played locally by a device associated with a terminal of a calling party and a clip played remotely by a device associated with a terminal of a called party when the calling party's terminal is put on hold by the called party's terminal. It includes a step of interrogating the first terminal to determine if the clip must be played locally in the network to which the first terminal belongs or if the clip must be played remotely in the network to which the second terminal belongs.
