Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004049680A1] Methods and systems are provided for managing one or more communications lines associated with a user of a communications network [104]. A service center [106] may receive from a user [101] line management information regarding one or more of the user's communications lines. This line management information may include a request from the user to handle all calls to the communications line in a particular manner (e.g., forward all calls to a different number). This line management information may also include information regarding scheduling the handling of calls to the communications line (e.g., scheduling call forwarding) or a request to handle calls differently based on information identifying the origination of the call (e.g., caller-ID). The service center may then forward instructions to the communications network such that the components (e.g., SSP or SCP) [314] of the communications network implement the user's modifications.
