Abstract: A communication system and corresponding method facilitate voice and message communications and may be implemented to provide multiple message delivery modes including voice and text, while maintaining privacy and specificity of message delivery. The method of establishing a communication link includes receiving a request for communication from a source party including a designated party identifier based on at least one of a designated party optical cue and a designated party transmission. The designated party identifier is associated with a matching designated party. The communication link between the source party and the designated party can then be established, either automatically based on the request, or subsequent to acceptance and/or instruction from the designated party to establish the communication link.
