Abstract

A system and method in which the user is provided the option of automatic recall of selected numbers which have been previously called. The computer based system which is controlled by operation of a conventional push-button telephone repeatedly places selected calls and plays a selected prerecorded message whenever a call is answered. Processors provide the capability of recognizing the results of each call as to whether the call has reached a number which is busy or is answered, and also as to whether the call is answered by a person or by an answering machine. In response to recognition signals, the system, at the appropriate time, plays a selected message. When a call has been successfully completed the called number will be removed from a numbers queue within the system, and the system will record the time and date of the completion. Numbers remaining in the queue will be recalled until successfully completed. The number of unsuccessful recalls, and the time at which each was made, is also recorded by the system. The system is programmable to make calls during selected time periods. A display panel provides information relating to operation of the system.
