Abstract:

Apparatus and methods concerning call routing are disclosed. As an example, one apparatus includes an interface circuit configured to route calls between a cellular network or PSTN and a plurality of communication devices on an IP network, each of the plurality of communication devices corresponding to a respective telephone extension. In response to receiving a first call notification from one of a plurality of mobile devices, a processing circuit of the apparatus caches the call notification for a period of time in a first database. A first call notification indicates a source number and a destination number. In response to a first incoming call via the cellular or PSTN network from the source number included in the cached call notification, the processing circuit redirects the call to the destination number indicated in the call notification via the cellular or PSTN network.
