A technique for obtaining caller-originated alert signals in IP-based communication sessions is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the technique may be realized as a method comprising the steps of: receiving, from a first user equipment and via a first communication channel, a request to initiate a communication session, the request being received at a second user equipment; in response to the request, causing a phonepage server to transmit, via a second communication channel, a caller-originated alert to the second user equipment; and rendering the caller-originated alert to alert a user associated with the second user equipment.

A method of playing promotion media content in a telecommunication network is disclosed. The method involves storing a plurality of promotion media content on a database (102) of WAP server (100). The method further includes receiving promotion media content on a memory unit of caller device (400) and callee device (500). Further, the method is followed by receiving incoming call signals from the caller device (400). The method further includes outputting the promotion media content by a predefined application on the devices (400), (500). The media content is played when the device (400) commencing a call to the device (500), during telephonic conversation between the device (400) and the device (500), and after disconnecting of the call between the devices (400), (500), by detecting at least one signal from plurality of telephony signals via signal detecting module (260) on a screen of at least one device (400) or device (500).

Agencies issue multiple devices to personnel for maintaining distinct identities over the course of assigned investigations. To provide flexible capabilities to agencies, a phone is converted for use with multiple attached telephone numbers. Accordingly, a single phone may be used to manage multiple identities over the course of one or more investigations. Using a multiple attached number, a given device can place and receive calls over the network to and from contacts. In addition to providing multiple attached numbers, calls using the multiple attached numbers may be monitored live and recorded to establish evidence.

A media service server provides media content to users over telephone networks. The media content server receives a request for media items, where the request is a call placed by a phone. The media content server identifies a user associated with the request, and establishes an audio communication channel with the phone. The media content server selects a media item for the user based on an identity of the user, and provides the media item to the user by playing content of the media item to the user over the audio communication channel.

A method of playing media content in a telecommunication network is disclosed. The method involves uploading media content on a server (100) by a caller device (400). The method further includes selecting at least one callee device (500) from a contact list of the device (400) via a predefined application (300). Further, the method includes forwarding the content from the server to a selected callee device (500). The method is followed by outputting the content by the application (300) on the selected device (500). The content is selected by the device (400), and the content is output at least one of when the selected device (500) is receiving a call from the device (400) or the selected device (500) is commencing the call to the device (400), the content being played on the selected device (500) by capturing ring signal via a ring signal capturing module (250).

The present invention discloses a mobile terminal control method, including: receiving a communication request sent by a communication request initiating party, and calculating a time interval between a time when the communication request is received and a time when a previous communication request from the communication request initiating party is received; and if the time interval is greater than a preset threshold, skipping generating a vibrating and/or ringtone alert for the communication request, and detecting an online status of a communications software account associated with the communication request initiating party and sending prompt information to an online communications software account, where the prompt information is used to indicate that a mobile terminal is in a Do Not Disturb mode.
