Methods and systems are provided for alerting a calling or message sending party as to whether a desired receiving wireless electronic communication device is off or out of range for sending and receiving transmissions. When a call is placed to a wireless telephone or when a message or page is placed to a wireless communication device such as a pager, text messaging device, or personal digital assistant, the operational status of the receiving wireless telephone or other wireless communication device is checked by the wireless network in which the wireless device operates. A message or call is returned to the calling party or sender to alert the calling party or sender if the desired receiving device is off or out of range so that the calling party or message sending party may choose an alternate means of communicating with the desired receiving party.

Methods and systems provide scheduling assistance with automation. A party requesting scheduling can make the request to the automated system in various ways such as a voiced call to a voice services node, an email or instant message over the Internet, or a wireless data message from a wireless device. Request data based on the communication from the requesting party is compared to schedule data, such as by querying a database containing the schedule data. If the request data is compatible with the schedule data such that the request can be accommodated, then the schedule data is altered according to the request data to reflect the new scheduling. A notification may then be sent to the requesting party and/or the scheduling party owning the schedule to confirm the scheduling. For example, a voice services node may provide a verbal confirmation to the requesting party over the voiced call, or an email, instant message, or wireless data message may be sent to the requesting party. Likewise, an email, instant message, or a wireless data message may be sent to the scheduling party and/or a web site viewable by the scheduling party may display the updated schedule.

A method and system are provided for enabling a sender of a voicemail message to delete that message before it is heard by the intended recipient and to be notified when a pending message is heard by the intended recipient. A voicemail system associated with a recipient receives and stores a voicemail message and, in response thereto, transmits a status message to a voicemail system associated with the sender. Upon user request, a server computer queries the voicemail system associated with the sender for status of a voicemail message, and if still pending, transmits a deletion request to the voicemail system associated with the sender. The deletion request is then sent from the voicemail system associated with the sender to the voicemail system associated with the recipient, which then deletes the message. When the status of a voicemail message changes from pending to heard, a status change message is received by a server computer, which then determines notification preferences and addresses and, subsequently, transmits a notification message to the sender of the voicemail message.
