First Claim
1. A computer storage system comprising a non-transitory storage device, said computer storage system having stored thereon executable program instructions that direct a computer system to at least:
- record a unique phone number assigned to a user, wherein the unique phone number is not a wireless phone number of the user and the unique phone number is not a wireline phone number of the user;
maintain a user contact data store that comprises contact records accessible and editable by the user via a user interface of at least one Internet-connected computing device of the user,wherein at least a portion of the editable contact records are configured to be used in call presentations to the user on respective calls from callers corresponding to respective editable call records subsequent to creation of the respective editable call records;
receive a call directed to the unique phone number, the call including call related information, the call related information including at least an identifier associated with a calling party;
access the user contact data store;
use the received identifier associated with the calling party to retrieve a contact record;
present the call directed to the unique phone number to the user on an Internet-connected computing device of the user, wherein the call presentation includes at least a portion of the retrieved contact record editable by the user; and
transmit over a network a message during the call, the message including at least a portion of the call related information, to a networked application, wherein the networked application is hosted on a second Internet-connected computing device of the user.

Abstract
The present invention is related to telecommunications, and in particular, to methods and systems for processing call signaling data. In an embodiment, a call processing system receives a first message from a switch while the switch is processing a call for a calling party, wherein the first message is initiated at least partly in response to a firing of a call event trigger configured within a switch. The first message includes call signaling information, including the calling party'"'"'s phone number. The calling party'"'"'s phone number is stored in the call processing system. A communication channel is established over a network between the call processing system and a computer associated with the called party. A message is transmitted to the networked computer, the message including the calling party'"'"'s phone number, wherein the calling party'"'"'s phone number is intended to be displayed on the networked computer associated with the called party.
