          Appeal No. 95-2050                                                           
          Application 07/888,098                                                       

                    The rejection of claims 11, 12, 24, and 25 is                      
          sustained.                                                                   
          Claims 13 and 26                                                             
                    Claims 13 and 26 depend from claims 1 and 15                       
          respectively and specify that one of the telephone numbers is                
          a virtual number.  We agree with the examiner that Bush’s 800                
          number is a virtual number and that even if it weren’t,                      
          Bicknell suggests using a virtual number.  Bicknell at Column                
          1, lines                                                                     
          13-52.                                                                       
                    The rejection of claims 13 and 26 is sustained.                    
          Claims 14 and 27                                                             
                    Claims 14 and 27 additionally recite providing a                   
          voice message or voice messaging information to a caller.  We                
          agree with the examiner that these features are suggested by                 
          Morganstein.                                                                 
                    The rejection of claims 14 and 27 is sustained.                    




          Claims 28 and 29                                                             



                                         -9-
