Methods, systems, and products for processing communications
Methods, systems, and products provide called party identification to a calling party. A communication is processed from a calling communications address to one of a plurality of communications addresses associated with a simultaneous ring. When an answer is detected at one of the plurality of communications addresses, an answering communications address is sent to the calling communications address.
1. A method, comprising:
processing, by a server, a communication from a sender's communications address that identifies a destination communications address;
associating, by the server, the destination communications address to a profile;
retrieving, by the server, a plurality of communications addresses from the profile that are associated with the destination communications address;
sending, from the server, the sender's communications address to each one of the plurality of communications addresses;
receiving, by the server, a recipient communications address of the plurality of communications addresses that accepted the communication; and
sending, by the server, the recipient communications address to the sender's communications address;
wherein the each one of the plurality of communications addresses is notified of the communication.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising routing the communication to the destination communications address.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising blocking the sender's communications address to the destination communications address.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising simultaneously ringing the plurality of communications addresses.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selectively ringing the plurality of communications addresses.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a non-recipient address of the of the plurality of communications addresses that did not accept the communication.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising retrieving an alternate identifier selected by the sender's communications address to identify the recipient communications address.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising sending the alternate identifier to the sender's communications address.
9. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing code that when executed causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
processing a communication from a sender's communications address that identifies a destination communications address;
associating the destination communications address to a profile;
retrieving a plurality of communications addresses from the profile that are associated with the destination communications address;
sending the sender's communications address to each one of the plurality of communications addresses;
receiving a recipient communications address of the plurality of communications addresses that accepted the communication; and
sending the recipient communications address to the sender's communications address;
wherein the each one of the plurality of communications addresses is notified of the communication.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise routing the communication to the destination communications address.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise blocking the sender's communications address to the destination communications address.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise simultaneously ringing the plurality of communications addresses.
13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise selectively ringing the plurality of communications addresses.
14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise determining a non-recipient address of the of the plurality of communications addresses that did not accept the communication.
15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise retrieving an alternate identifier selected by the sender's communications address to identify the recipient communications address.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise sending the alternate identifier to the sender's communications address.
17. A memory device storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
processing a communication from a sender's communications address that identifies a destination communications address;
associating the destination communications address to a profile;
retrieving a plurality of communications addresses from the profile that are associated with the destination communications address;
sending the sender's communications address to each one of the plurality of communications addresses;
receiving a recipient communications address of the plurality of communications addresses that accepted the communication; and
sending the recipient communications address to the sender's communications address;
wherein the each one of the plurality of communications addresses is notified of the communication.
18. The memory device of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise routing the communication to the destination communications address.
19. The memory device of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise blocking the sender's communications address to the destination communications address.
20. The memory device of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise simultaneously ringing the plurality of communications addresses.
