Claim Text:
1. A method for a VOIP application server associated with a VOIP application to improve performance of a target computing device for IP communications via the VOIP application, comprising: determining, by the VOIP application server, whether the target computing device is likely to be called using the VOIP application during a contact period; directing, by the VOIP application server, the target computing device to adjust a performance setting for receiving an IP communication with the VOIP application in response to determining a likelihood the target computing device will be called using the VOIP application during the contact period; determining, by the VOIP application server, whether an acknowledgement is received that indicates that the target computing device has adjusted the performance setting for receiving the IP communication with the VOIP application in response to the VOIP application server directing the target computing device to adjust the performance setting; and transmitting, by the VOIP application server, an out-of-band push notification message to the target computing device directing the target computing device to adjust the performance setting for receiving the IP communication with the VOIP application in response to determining that the acknowledgement was not received by the VOIP application server.
