TOLL SAVING CALL FEATURE FROM A REMOTE SITE TO INITIATE A CALL THROUGH A CPE THAT SUPPORTS 3 WAY CALLING

摘要

A telephone system (100) includes a storage device (118), which receives a telephone number and stores the telephone number. A customer premises equipment (CPE) device (110) includes a three-way calling feature such that the stored telephone number is enabled to be called from the CPE (110) over a switched network (102) and a connection is made by the CPE (110) over the switched network (102) between the telephone number and a user at a location remote (106) from the CPE (110).
