Method and system for creating a two-way voice path to facilitate a call prompter/voice prompter feature
First Claim
1. A system for facilitating a two-way voice path on a call from an originating location through an originating network and a destination network to a called destination using pre-answer interaction to permit access to user-network interaction features, regardless of signaling system protocol of the originating network where the voice path is blocked at the interface between the originating network and the destination network, comprising:
- switch means for receiving an initial address, the switch means including means for transmitting a query to a network control point including subscriber services information, the network control point including means for instructing the switch means to open a two-way voice path for user-network interaction;
the switch means further including means for opening a two-way voice path after receiving instructions from the network control point.

Abstract
A system for facilitating a two-way voice path to permit access to call prompter/voice prompter services regardless of the internal system protocols. The system includes a switch for receiving an initial address. The switch including the ability to transmit a query to a control point including subscriber services, wherein the control point including is able to instruct the switch to open a two-way voice path for user-network interaction. The switch is able to open a two-way voice path after receiving instructions from the control point.

17. A method for facilitating a two-way voice path on a call from an originating location through an originating network and a destination network to a called destination using pre-answer interaction to permit user-network interaction where the voice path is blocked at the interface between the originating network and the destination network, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving an initial address from an originating network having system protocols; determining whether user-network interaction is necessary; and opening a two-way voice path when user-network interaction is necessary. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A system for facilitating a two-way voice path on a call from an originating location through an originating network using international signalling protocol and a destination network to a called destination to permit access to user-network interaction features, regardless of signaling system protocol of the originating network where the voice path is blocked at the interface between the originating network and the destination network, comprising:
-
switch means for receiving an initial address, the switch means including means for transmitting a query to a network control point including subscriber services information, the network control point including means for instructing the switch means to open a two-way voice path for user-network interaction; the switch means further including means for opening a two-way voice path after receiving instructions from the network control point.
