METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING CALLER IDENTIFICATION FOR AN UNIDENTIFIED CALLING PARTY

A telecommunication system provides calling party identification for an unidentified calling party while the subscriber is logged on to the Internet on their subscriber line. If a call is made to the subscriber's line while the subscriber is logged onto the internet on the subscriber line, the SCP determines whether the calling party information is present. If the calling party information is not present (either unavailable or blocked), the calling party is prompted to record their name (or some sort of identification). The subscriber can choose to have the recorded identification played on the subscriber's computer via the Internet. After listening to the audible identification on the subscriber's computer, the subscriber then can choose to reject the call, send the call to voicemail, terminate the Internet connection and take the call, etc.
