Original Abstract Submitted

A device is configured to communicate on a mobile communications network. An incoming call is received, and it is determined that the incoming call meets a predetermined criteria indicating a probable source of the incoming call. On a display of the device, an option is rendered for answering the incoming call with a generated voice response in lieu of a voice of a user of the device. Text options for generating a voice response are also rendered. The incoming call is answered and generated speech corresponding to the selected text option is sent.
