Abstract
Systems and methods for providing third party call services with the delivery of content to a calling party communication device are described herein. The systems may comprise a website server and telco gateway configured to enable a calling party to initiate a communication session between a calling party communication device and a called party communication device via a web page of a website hosted by the website server. During establishment of the communication session, the telco gateway determines what content to deliver to the calling party communication device and delivers such content to the calling party communication device while waiting to receive an answer of a call initiated to the called party communication device.
