Systems, devices and methods for implementing a hold-call-back feature in a telecommunications network. A first connection is established between a call server and a first terminal via a packet-based network and a second connection is established between the call server and a second terminal via the packet-based network. The packet-based network comprises at least a segment of the telecommunications network. The call server then joins the first connection with the second connection to establish communication between the first terminal and the second terminal. In response to receiving a hold-call-back activation command from the first terminal via the packet-based network, the call server splits the first connection from the second connection, terminates the first connection and parks the second connection. The call server may then repeatedly prompt the second terminal for a call reestablishment command. In response to receiving a call reestablishment command from the second terminal via the packet-based network, the call server establishes a new connection with the first terminal via the packet-based network.

A call server includes a network interface for connecting the call server to a packet-based network within a telecommunications network. The call server establishes a first connection with a calling party terminal and a second connection with a called party terminal via the packet-based network. The call server then joins the first connection with the second connection to establish communication between the calling party terminal and the called party terminal. The call server may park the second connection when the first connection is terminated or vice-versa and establish a new connection with the calling party terminal via the packet-based network if the first connection was terminated or vice versa. The call server may join the new connection with the first or second connection to reestablish communication between the calling party terminal and the called party terminal.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, systems and methods for collecting, analyzing, and/or displaying signaling information for a call through a network, including: receiving a request for signaling information, wherein the request identifies a particular call handled by at least one network element within a voice over internet protocol network, querying the at least one network element for signaling information related to the particular call, and displaying the signaling information for the particular call. According to some embodiments of the present invention, systems and methods may further include storing signaling information on a network element, generating a call detail record based on the signaling information, wherein the call detail record identifies the network element and the particular call, sending the call detail record to a database, and searching the database based on the one or more criteria to identify the at least one network element.
