Sending call type and extension number to a device

The Send call type and extension number method sends DTMF digits that represent the call type and one or more extension numbers to help the third-party device determine where the call came from. Using this information, the third-party device can customize call handling for individual calls.

For example, a third-party voice mail system can use the extension number to preselect a specific user’s voice mailbox. Using the call type, the system can then customize how the call is handled. When users dial in from their desks, they are connected directly to their voice mailboxes and offered a “retrieve voice mail” menu. For external callers, the voice mail system offers a “leave message” menu with the user’s voice mailbox already selected.
