1. A communication system comprising:
- a first device;
a communication gateway to receive a communication from the first device;
a communication controller coupled to the communication gateway;
a second device coupled to the communication controller; and
a self-test server configured to send one or more test messages to one or more apparatus associated with a user of the first device,wherein the communication controller is configured to receive a communication from the first device and communicatively connect the first device and the second device,wherein the communication controller receives identification information corresponding to the user of the first device and transfers the identification information to the self-test server, andwherein, based on the identification information, the self-test server pushes a test message to the one or more apparatus before the communication is transferred from the call controller to the second device.

20. A communication system comprising:
-
a communication controller; a second device coupled to the communication controller; a self-test server configured to send one or more test messages to a device associated with a user of a first device; and a database comprising customer information, wherein the communication controller is configured to receive a communication from the first device and communicatively connect the first device and the second device, wherein the communication controller receives identification information corresponding to a user from the first device and transfers the identification information to the self-test server, and wherein, based on the identification information, the self-test server pushes a test message to one or more apparatus before the communication is transferred from the communication controller to the second device.
