15. A method for delivering caller-originated alert signals in an IP-based communication session, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from a first user equipment, a request to initiate a communication session with a second user equipment via a first communication channel; and
transmitting, in response to the request, one or more messages to the second user equipment, the one or more messages causing the second user equipment to obtain a caller-originated alert from a phonepage server via a second communication channel and to render the caller-originated alert to alert a user associated with the second user equipment.
