Apparatus and methods are disclosed for bridging communications between a private network and a public network. A mapping that associates a first set of IP addresses of endpoints in the private network with a second set of IP addresses of endpoints in the public network is provided which enables communications between the private network and public network for network-address-translation (NAT). In response to a data packet having a first IP address of the first set of IP addresses, the data packet is used to determine whether the local line should be accessed. In response to an indication that the local line should be accessed, the identifier among the second set of IP addresses may be used to activate bridging (e.g., ATB) circuit and redirect a call associated with the data packet by passing the data packet through the ATB circuit.

A system and a method of data communication between a first computing device, associated with a first user, and at least one second computing device associated with a second user may include: receiving, by the first computing device, one or more data elements pertaining to details of a transaction request from the second computing device, via a voice channel; extracting said transaction request details by the first computing device; transmitting, by the first computing device, one or more authentication data elements of an electronic wallet module, comprised in the first computing device, to the second computing device, via the voice channel; and carrying out the requested transaction by the first computing device, based on the extracted transaction request details and the electronic wallet authentication data.

Embodiments include systems and methods for wireless device signaling a network regarding customized ringing signal (CRS) capability and use of such information by the network. Various embodiments may receiving from the network an INVITE message notifying the wireless device of an incoming call, determining whether the INVITE message indicates that the network provides CRS service if the wireless device supports a CRS function, and including an indication in a response to the INVITE that the wireless device supports the CRS function in response to determining that the INVITE message includes an alert information header field indicating that the network provides CRS service. Various embodiments include a network computing device receiving such information and performing negotiations for CRS service with the wireless device only if the wireless device indicates CRS functional capability.

Providing a voice call includes: receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a request to initiate a voice call traffic session; requesting setup of a voice call data pipe; based on at least a setup of the voice call data pipe not completing prior to a timer event, transmitting voice packets over a signaling data pipe; and based on at least the voice call data pipe setup completing, ceasing to transmit voice packets over the signaling data pipe and transmitting voice packets over the voice call data pipe. Placing a voice call includes: requesting, by the UE, to initiate the voice call traffic session; based on at least a first trigger event, transmitting voice packets over the signaling data pipe; and based on at least a second trigger event, ceasing to transmit voice packets over the signaling data pipe and transmitting voice packets over the voice call data pipe.

A communication method between a communication initiating device and a communication response system using preconditions, comprising the steps of initiating a call from the communication initiating device to the communication response system, before answering the call, requesting information in accordance with the preconditions and performing one or more predefined action in response to the obtaining of the requested information.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for managing software telephones and telephone services, such as customer service support or sales, for multiple clients. Methods consistent with the present disclosure may be implemented as non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, where a processor executes instructions out of a memory when services are provided or organized during a telephone call or a text message communication session. In general, a telephone or text messaging service may be managed along multiple different components including origination services, platform services, and termination services without introducing additional conferencing and/or secondary voice conferencing sessions to calls between clients and respective customers.

When an access node is providing a UE with carrier-aggregation service on a PCell in combination with one or more SCells and the UE engages in a voice call including uplink voice communication on the PCell, the access node will determine that there is a threshold high level of IMD on the uplink resulting from concurrent downlink transmissions, and the access node will responsively swap the UE's PCell with one of the UE's one or more SCells. In a representative implementation, the decision to swap these carriers in the UE's connection could be based on a further determination that the level of IMD on the uplink of the SCell is not threshold high.

A computer-implemented method of managing tenants on a multi-tenant SIP server system has at least two multi-tenant enabled SIP server instances in an SIP server cloud or private datacenter environment. Each SIP server instance of the plurality of SIP server instances is configured as a virtual application. The method contains the steps of initially configuring a first tenant on a first SIP server instance, monitoring the capacity of the first SIP server instance, and monitoring the capacity of a second SIP server instance. The monitoring of the first and second SIP server instances is carried out by monitoring at least one predetermined capacity-relevant value. When the at least one predetermined capacity-relevant value exceeds a predetermined threshold value indicating that capacity resources are low on the first SIP server instance, then the first tenant is moved from the first SIP server instance to the second SIP server instance.

Devices, methods, systems, and computer-readable media for using network connection health data, from multiple sources, to determine whether to switch a network connection on redundant IP networks using VoIP protocol are described herein. One non-transitory computer readable medium includes instructions for connecting an end device used by a first party to communicate with a second party through a VoIP network connection via a VoIP network device, connecting a first network device operating a first network to the VoIP device, connecting a second network device operating a second network to the VoIP device, if there are indications of a fault on at least two OSI layers, then switching from communicating VoIP connection related packets of data on the first network to communicating the VoIP connection related packets of data on the second network.

Methods and devices for establishing a communication between a first and a second terminal are described. The disclosed technology can be implemented in or by a server or a terminal in communication with the server. The first terminal can to the server, using a first calling identity, a request including connection information and an identifier of the first terminal. Using the identifier, the server can obtain from a database a pair of calling identities including one certified and one non-certified, the pair comprising the first calling identity and a second calling identity. The server can determine, from one of the calling identities and from the connection information, a connectivity mode of the terminal, and determine a routable number on which the terminal can send a communication to the server. The server can route the communication towards the second terminal by presenting a calling identity of the pair and sending the routable number to the first terminal.
