1. A recovery network to provide communication services for an organization having an internal network coupled to a public communication network through one or more primary communication paths, the recovery network comprising:

  • an alternative communication path configured to couple the internal network of the organization to the public communication network, wherein the alternative communication path communicatively couples the internal network to the public communication network independent of the one or more primary communication paths coupling the internal network to the public communication network; and

    a soft switch configured to receive availability indicators, each availability indicator comprising an identifier corresponding to a user of the endpoint device and information pertaining to a communication endpoint device associated with the user, wherein one or more of the availability indicators are received via the alternative communication path;

    wherein the soft switch is configured to receive a communication request directed to an intended recipient;

    wherein the soft switch is configured to identify a communication endpoint device associated with the intended recipient using the received availability indicators; and

    wherein the soft switch is configured to service the communication request using the identified communication endpoint device, the public communication network, and the alternative communication path.
