ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for establishing telephone communications between anonymous service subscribers and responding callers over public telephone lines employing the Direct Inward Dialing (DID) feature to enable complete confidentiality and mutual anonymity between a caller and a subscriber and to effect immediate connecting to a subscriber without touch tone or verbal input. The system also is used as an unpublished telephone number service to enable a caller to place a message that is relayed to a subscriber. The subscriber, based on the caller's message, then can return the call to communicate with the caller. Further, the system may be used to enable a subscribing caller to place calls to persons having caller identification telephone equipment capable of identifying the telephone numbers of callers.
