Abstract
An electronic device capable of receiving and sending calls is configured with at least two modes. When a call is received by a device in a normal mode, the device displays information and presents selectable options for handling the received call. When the device is in a restricted or meeting mode, the device provides authorized callers with the option of prompting the called party to immediately answer the call or to record a message for later retrieval or take other appropriate action. Settings associated with the normal mode and settings associated with the meeting mode are adjustable.
