A local network call handling device is configured to establish multiple concurrent call sessions between local network end devices and an external network. When a prioritized end device attempts to establish a call session, the call handling device may initially determine if a first call session identifier is available. If so, the call session can be established using that first identifier. If the first identifier is in use for a call session of another end device, the call handling device may either use a different call session identifier for the prioritized end device session or may drop a pre-existing call session to free an identifier for use in connection with the prioritized end device.

A secure phone system comprising a plurality of Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, each having an enhanced security implant device, a Mutual Disabling Unit (MDU) and a method of operating the system for securing VoIP phones located in the same room by disabling a VoIP phone while a call is active in another phone in order to prevent audio eavesdropping.

A method of identifying a breach in privacy during a communication session, including communicating with a remote communication device using a local communication device, analyzing an audio signal from the remote communication device to identify an audio input/output configuration of the remote communication device, determining from the audio input/output configuration if a breach in privacy is signified.

A device blocking tool includes a user interface, a location engine, and a connection engine. The user interface receives at least one of a MAC address of a device and an IP address of the device. The location engine communicates a query to an access control server, receives a response, and determines, based on the response, that the device connected to a network through a wired connection. In response to a determination that the device connected through the wired connection, the location engine determines a switch through which the device connected. The location engine also determines a VLAN through which the device connected and determines, based on a type associated with the VLAN, that the device is an IP telephone. The connection engine connects to the determined switch in response to the determination that the device connected through the wired connection.

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for collecting call data, feeding call data to applications, and providing advanced call features.

A system and method of provisioning a wireless device that uses cellular communication protocols. The method carried out by the system includes: establishing a wireless communications session with the wireless device at a remote facility; transmitting provisioning information from the remote facility to the wireless device via the wireless communications session; and including a computer readable instruction with the provisioning information commanding the wireless device to contact the remote facility when the wireless communications session has been interrupted and the transmission of provisioning information is not complete.

A method including receiving an interrupt originating associated with an interrupting entity during an ongoing communication between a user and a current entity, determining if the interrupting entity has a higher priority than the current entity, interrupting the user if the interrupting entity has a higher priority than the current entity, and not interrupting the user if the interrupting entity has a lower priority than the current entity.

A method including receiving an interrupt originating associated with an interrupting entity during an ongoing communication between a user and a current entity, determining if the interrupting entity has a higher priority than the current entity, interrupting the user if the interrupting entity has a higher priority than the current entity, and not interrupting the user if the interrupting entity has a lower priority than the current entity.
