A method for managing incoming telephone calls to a telephone user's telephone, each incoming telephone call being associated with a respective telephone number, a telephone user selects telephone numbers which are associated with potential incoming telephone calls to the telephone user's telephone and the telephone user selects individual time constraints (132, 134, 136, 138) to associate with each selected telephone number, each time constraint (132, 134, 136, 138) associated with a selected telephone number being indicative of a possible period of time during which the telephone user's telephone receives an incoming telephone call associated with the selected telephone number, the method comprising: selecting, by the telephone user, telephone use statuses to associate with the selected telephone numbers, each telephone use status associated with a selected telephone number being indicative of a possible status of the telephone user's telephone during a time at which the telephone user's telephone receives an incoming telephone call associated with a selected telephone number; selecting, by the telephone user, treatment options to associate with the selected telephone numbers for each time constraint (132, 134, 136, 138) and telephone use status pair to form time constraint (132, 134, 136, 138), telephone use status, and treatment option combinations associated with the selected telephone numbers; storing the time constraint (132, 134, 136, 138), telephone use status, and treatment option combinations associated with the selected telephone numbers along with the selected telephone numbers in a memory medium; upon determining that a telephone number associated with an incoming telephone call to the telephone user's telephone is one of the selected telephone numbers, accessing the memory medium to determine the time constraint (132, 134, 136, 138), telephone use status and treatment option combination applicable to the incoming telephone call based on the period of time during which the telephone user's telephone receives the incoming telephone call and based on the status of the telephone user's telephone during the time at which the telephone user's telephone receives the incoming telephone call; and managing the incoming telephone call according to the treatment option specified in the time constraint (132, 134, 136, 138), telephone use status and treatment option combination applicable to the incoming telephone call. selecting, by the telephone user, telephone use statuses to associate with the selected telephone numbers, each telephone use status associated with a selected telephone number being indicative of a possible status of the telephone user's telephone during a time at which the telephone user's telephone receives an incoming telephone call associated with a selected telephone number; selecting, by the telephone user, treatment options to associate with the selected telephone numbers for each time constraint (132, 134, 136, 138) and telephone use status pair to form time constraint (132, 134, 136, 138), telephone use status, and treatment option combinations associated with the selected telephone numbers; storing the time constraint (132, 134, 136, 138), telephone use status, and treatment option combinations associated with the selected telephone numbers along with the selected telephone numbers in a memory medium; upon determining that a telephone number associated with an incoming telephone call to the telephone user's telephone is one of the selected telephone numbers, accessing the memory medium to determine the time constraint (132, 134, 136, 138), telephone use status and treatment option combination applicable to the incoming telephone call based on the period of time during which the telephone user's telephone receives the incoming telephone call and based on the status of the telephone user's telephone during the time at which the telephone user's telephone receives the incoming telephone call; and managing the incoming telephone call according to the treatment option specified in the time constraint (132, 134, 136, 138), telephone use status and treatment option combination applicable to the incoming telephone call.
