1. An apparatus comprisinga processor and a memory storing computer-readable instructions;
- wherein the memory and stored computer-readable instructions are configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus at least to;
detect an incoming communication to the apparatus from a calling device;
generate a notification of the incoming communication;
provide a programmable key configured to decline the incoming communication upon selection of the programmable key in response to the notification of the incoming communication;
in an instance in which a communication service provider is pre-selected, cause transmission of at least one reply communication in response to the selection of the programmable key as a reply to the incoming communication; and
in an instance in which a communication service provider is not pre-selected, provide selection of at least two communication service providers, and cause transmission of at least one reply communication by a communication service provider selected by a user.
