Abstract
Providing a user of a mobile communication device with directory information for a missed call is disclosed. A router is adapted to receive a query message for directory information for a given telephone number from a mobile communication device. The router determines whether the given telephone number is associated with the first telephony system or is associated with a second telephony network. A server and a gateway are connected to the router. The server is in communication with a database having directory information associated with the first telephony network stored therein. The gateway is in communication with the second telephony network. If the given telephone number is associated with the first telephony network, the router provides the server with the query message. If given telephone number is associated with the second telephony network, the router provides the gateway with the query message. The mobile communication device includes logic embodied in a computer readable medium for generating a query message, the query message including a look-up indicator associated with a missed message; and logic embodied in a computer readable medium for parsing a response message. The response message includes directory information related to the missed message.
