Abstract
A system, method, and apparatus are provided to deliver integrated call screen list based telephony services for a subscriber having both landline and mobile wireless telephone terminals.

These services can be coordinated and integrated between the landline and mobile wireless telephone terminals in various telephony topologies. For example, services can be integrated when the landline and mobile wireless telephone terminals are operably connected to separate mobile and landline telecommunications switching infrastructures or to a common integrated landline and wireless telecommunications switch. One or more call screen lists may be used to define integrated call screen list based services for landline and wireless telephone terminals.
