When a call is received for a busy directory number the originator is notified and a determination is made as to whether the originator would like to activate an automatic callback feature. If the originator has activated the feature the call is forwarded to an advertisement server and the directory number is monitored. When the called directory number is free the originator is connected. In effect, an automatic callback service is provided free of charge to a caller, the revenues from the advertising paying for the service. The invention can be implemented either with an automatic callback facility or by using advanced intelligent network triggers. Computer program code within a telecommunication switch is used to implement the invention.Other References
