Inbound and outbound communication session and call control
Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are provided for call control. Upon receipt of a voice call initiated by a mobile device, one or more call control rules associated with the phone number through which the voice call was received is determined, and responsive to identifying the one or more call control rules, an alternative communication session is initiated with the mobile device by transmitting a message to the mobile device including a hyperlink to initiate the alternative communication session. The voice call is then suspended and then later terminated upon determining that a user of the mobile device selects the hyperlink to initiate the alternative communication session.
