notifying, by the first message, the called device that a call attempt, sent from the calling device and destined for the called device, failed to establish a call connection, wherein the first message comprises a calling device identifier, a date and time of the call attempt, and an option to send a notification to the calling device.
3. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
notifying, by the second message, the calling device that a call attempt, sent from the calling device and destined for the called device, has failed to establish a call connection, wherein the second message comprises a called device identifier, a date and time of the call attempt, and an option to transmit a notification to the called device.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the initiating a communication session further comprises:
initiating a communication session between the calling device and the called device based on an internet protocol address of the calling device and the called device.
5. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
forwarding a confirmation message to the virtual machine confirming that the called device is available via a data communication network; and
responsive to the virtual machine receiving the confirmation message, forwarding the first message to the called device.
6. An apparatus comprising:
a processor configured to:
identify a failed call connection via a notification identifying a calling device and a called device stored in a carrier network; and
a transmitter configured to:
responsive to the failed notification being identified, transmit an invocation request, including a called device identifier corresponding to the called device, to a virtual computing network comprising a plurality of virtual machines;
wherein the processor is further configured to:
select a virtual machine, of the plurality of virtual machines, corresponding to the called device,
select a virtual mobile device from among a plurality of virtual mobile devices operating on the virtual machine based on the called device identifier,
initiate a virtual mobile device application associated with the virtual mobile device, and
initiate a communication session between the calling device and the called device based on the initiating the virtual mobile device application; and
wherein the transmitter is further configured to:
transmit at least one of a first message to the called device and a second message to the calling device.
7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
notify, by the first message the called device that a call attempt, sent from the calling device and destined for the called device, has failed to establish a call connection, wherein the first message comprises a calling device identifier, a date and time of the call attempt and an option to send a notification to the calling device.
8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
notify, by the second message to notify the calling device that a call attempt, sent from the calling device and destined for the called device, has failed to establish a call connection, wherein the second message comprises a called device identifier, a date and time of the call attempt and an option to transmit a notification to the called device.
9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein, when the processor is configured to initiate a communication session, the processor is further configured to:
initiate a communication session to between the calling device and the called device based on an internet protocol address of the calling device and the called device.
10. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
forward a confirmation message to the virtual machine that the called device is available via a data communication network; and
responsive to the virtual machine having received the confirmation message, forward the first message to the called device.
11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform:
identifying a failed call connection via a notification identifying a calling device and a called device stored in a carrier network;
responsive to identifying the failed call, transmitting an invocation request, including a called device identifier corresponding to the called device, to a virtual computing network comprising a plurality of virtual machines;
selecting a virtual machine, of the plurality of virtual machines, corresponding to the called device;
selecting a virtual mobile device from among a plurality of virtual mobile devices operating on the virtual machine based on the called device identifier;
initiating a virtual mobile device application associated with the virtual mobile device;
initiating a communication session between the calling device and the called device based on the initiating the virtual mobile device application; and
transmitting at least one of a first message to the called device and a second message to the calling device.
12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to perform:
notifying, by the first message, the called device that a call attempt, sent from the calling device and destined for the called device, failed to establish a call connection, wherein the first message comprises a calling device identifier, a date and time of the call attempt, and an option to send a notification to the calling device.
13. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to perform:
notifying, by the second message, the calling device that a call attempt, sent from the calling device and destined for the called device, has failed to establish a call connection, wherein the second message comprises a called device identifier, a date and time of the call attempt, and an option to transmit a notification to the called device.
14. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein, when the instructions cause the processor to initiate a communication session, the instructions further cause the processor to:
initiate a communication session between the calling device and the called device based on an internet protocol address of the calling device and the called device.
