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, 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, and provide a call history accessible by the first member to indicate which member or members of the first group of members were successfully contacted to deliver the recorded voice message,wherein the processor-based system is adapted to retrieve a message number to identify a sound file associated with the recorded voice message and deliver the recorded voice message in a process that includes retrieving the sound file based on the message number.

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, 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, provide a call history accessible by the first member to indicate which member or members of the first group of members were successfully contacted to deliver the recorded voice message, retrieve a message number to identify a sound file associated with the recorded voice message, and deliver the recorded voice message in a process that includes retrieving the sound file based on the message number. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory tangible storage medium readable by a processor-based system and for 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, 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, provide a call history accessible by the first member to indicate which member or members of the first group of members were successfully contacted to deliver the recorded voice message, retrieve a message number to identify a sound file associated with the recorded voice message, and deliver the recorded voice message in a process that includes retrieving the sound file based on the message number. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
