Abstract

A method includes receiving, at a computing device, a call originally directed to a mobile device, and forwarding the call to at least one other device. The method further includes determining that the forwarded call is not answered by the at least one other device and forwarding two versions of the call to the mobile device, such that one of the two versions of the call is automatically directed toward a voicemail account associated with the mobile device. The other of the two versions of the call is then canceled.
