Raincheck on voice over packet network calling
A method of placing a voice call over a packet network. The method includes presenting a user with a selection between a more expensive public switched transmission network call to be placed immediately and a taking a rain check for a less expensive packet network call. If the user selects the packet network call, a network device automatically attempts the packet network call, such that the user does not have to remain connected by the call. The network device could reserve resources to complete the call. Additionally, the user could select an interval time for which the repeated attempts are to be made, as well as whether to fall back to PSTN if the time expires before resources become available.
