Abstract

A technique includes receiving a first communication from a first member of a group of members and recording a voice message during the communication from the first member. The technique includes, in response to the first communication, automatically attempting to communicate with at least one member of the group other than the first member to deliver the recorded voice message.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving a first communication from a first member of a first group of members of a plurality of groups over a long distance interexchange of a telecommunication system;

storing contact information for the first group of members prior to receiving the first communication from the first member; and

providing a processor-based system to, in response to the first communication, associate the first member with the first group of members based on an identifier provided in the first communication and use the stored contact information to automatically attempt to initiate communication with at least one member of the first group other than the first member over the long distance interexchange to deliver a recorded voice message delivered during the first communication.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the first communication from the first member comprises receiving a telephone call.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the automatically attempting to communicate comprising:

communicating an email with said at least one member of the group other than the first member.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the automatically attempt to communicate comprises:

communicating to a telephone number associated with said at least one member of the group other than the first member.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the processor-based system is adapted to communicate a message to the first member containing the call history.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the message containing the call history comprises an email message.

7. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing a program to cause the processor to receive a first communication from a first member of a first group of members over a long distance interexchange of a telecommunication system and in response to the first communication from the first member, associate the first member with the first group of members based on an identifier provided in the first communication and attempt to communicate with at least one member of the group other than the first member over the long distance interexchange to deliver a recorded voice message furnished during the first communication.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the communication from the first member comprises a telephone call.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the processor communicates an email to said at least one member of the group other than the first member in response to the voice message.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein the processor contact a telephone number associated with said at least one member of the group other than the first member in response to the voice mail message.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the memory stores contact information from said at least one member of the group other than the first member.

12. The system of claim 7, wherein the processor is adapted to communicate a message to the first member containing the call history.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the message containing the call history comprises an email message.

14. An article comprising a storage medium readable by a processor-based system, the storage medium storing instructions to cause the processor-based system to:

receive a first communication from a first member of a first group of members over a long distance interexchange of a telecommunication system, and

in response to the first communication from the first member, associate the first member with the first group of members based on an identifier provided in the first communication and attempt to communicate with at least one member of the group other than the first member over the long distance interexchange to deliver a recorded voice message furnished during the first communication.

15. The article of claim 14, wherein the first communication comprises a telephone call.

16. The article of claim 14, wherein the storage medium storing instructions to cause the processor to communicate an email with said at least one member of the group other than the first member to respond to the voice message.

17. The article of claim 14, wherein the storage medium storing instructions to cause the processor to contact a telephone number associated with said at least one member of the group other than the first member in response to the voice message.

18. The article of claim 14, the storage medium storing instructions to cause the processor-based system to communicate a message to the first member containing the call history.

19. The article of claim 18, wherein the message containing the call history comprises an email message.
