Abstract: Method and system are disclosed for providing a telephone user with a capability to use Internet-based applications. The method comprises the following steps: At a first server, receiving an indication transmitted from the telephone denoting a request to be connected to an Internet-based application residing at a second server. Establishing a communication path that extends between the telephone and the second server via said first server. At the first server, creating a virtual client entity specific to that telephone and the Internet-based application to be used. The virtual client allows communication between the telephone device and that Internet-based application. The virtual client entity is maintained for the duration of a communication session that is about to take place between the telephone user and the Internet-based application.
