Abstract
A contact server receives a request to initiate an out-bound call to a recipient device. The request identifies the caller device by a cellular network phone number. The contact server establishes a communication link with the caller device and determines its associated data network phone number. The contact server establishes a link with the recipient device, indicating that the data network phone number is the source of call, and bridges the two links. The contact server may also receive a request for an in-bound call to a recipient device. The request identifies the recipient device by its data network phone number. The contact server establishes a link with the caller device and determines a cellular network phone number associated with the recipient device. The contact server establishes a link with the recipient device using its cellular network phone number and bridges the two links.
