1. A method of filtering calls initiated from a communication device and presenting content on the communication device, the method comprising:

  • receiving electronic notification of initiation of a call from the communication device to a target destination, wherein;

    the call is initiated by an operator of the communication device; and

    signaling of the call to a communication service provider of the communication device is delayed by a call processor operating on the communication device;

    identifying content to be presented on the communication device in association with the call;

    instructing the communication device to present the identified content, the identified content being unrelated to establishment of the call and comprising an actuable control, wherein actuation of the control terminates said delaying of the signaling; and

    during the call, without interrupting the call, instructing the communication device to present additional content, wherein;

    the target destination is an organization;

    the additional content comprises multiple selectable identities of corresponding entities within the organization; and

    selection of one of the selectable identities causes the call to be routed to the corresponding entity.
