- 25. A method as claimed in 21 wherein the communications network comprises a first network and a second network.
-
27. A method of storing the number of communication events initiated by initiating nodes in a first network to a receiving node in a second network comprising:
-
transmitting information from an initiating node in the first network to the receiving node in the second network via a gateway; monitoring the information transmitted via the gateway to the receiving node; determining the number of communication events received at the receiving node from the information transmitted via the gateway; and storing the number of communication events received by the receiving node in a data store.

-
28. A method of communicating in a communication network using communication information stored on a data store by a plurality of users comprising:
-
inputting searching criteria to search the data store by a first user; retrieving a set of information from the data store corresponding to the searching criteria; determining if any information in the set was stored on the data store by a user associated with the first user; displaying any information that was determined as being updated by a user associated with the first user, to the first user; initiating a communication event by the first user to a second user using the information presented to the first user.
