A method for handling call originations is provided. The method includes sending origination information from a mobile device to an application server in an enterprise network using Short Message Service (SMS) and determining whether a hotline feature is present in a subscriber profile associated with the mobile device. Data is then routed from the mobile device to a predetermined destination based on the hotline feature.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product relating to notification requests and callback requests in indirect communications are provided. In the context of a method, the method includes sending a service request for selection of a service consumer. The service request is one of a notification request or a callback request. The method further includes indicating a version of a programming interface configured to support the service request.

Pre-authorized communication services and/or transactions are provided via a plurality of networks in response to a request received from a user to provide at least one of a communication service, a transaction and user account information via a plurality of networks of different types. Prior to processing the request, there is verification of the user's authorization to receive the at least one of the communication service, the transaction, and the user account information, and that an account associated with the user has a sufficient amount currently available for payment of the at least one of the communication service and the transaction. After verification, an authorized account associated with the user is charged in real time as the at least one of the communication service and the transaction is provided.

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a communication interface such as a transceiver, a display, a processor electrically connected to the communication interface and the display, and a memory electrically connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions for controlling, when executed, the processor to transmit a reception reject message to a caller device through the communication interface in response to an incoming call received from the caller device, to create a call back reminder linked to caller identification information of the caller device when the reception reject message contains context of a call back intention, and to output a notification of the created call back reminder.
