A system includes a first network device and a second network device. The
first network device is configured to receive a voicemail message for a
called party, determine whether a second network device is available, and
transfer the voicemail message to the second network device when the
second network device is determined to be available. The second network
device is configured to store the voicemail message in a mailbox
associated with the called party, and automatically provide a network
device associated with the called party with access to the voicemail
message in response to a network address associated with the network
device matching a subscriber identifier in a list of subscriber
identifiers.
