  • Publication number: 20090213843
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention is directed to a method, wherein it is received, at an origin device, input from a first telephonic device via an origin telephonic landline. An initiation request is then output based on the input to a destination device, wherein the destination device is configured to output a call request to a second telephonic device via a destination telephonic landline. Another embodiment of the invention is directed to a method, including receiving, at a server, a request from an origin device, wherein the origin device is configured to receive input from a first telephonic device via an origin telephonic landline. Information is then output, based on the input, regarding a destination device to the origin device, wherein the destination device is configured to output a call request to a second telephonic device via a destination telephonic landline.
