ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a trusted agent for anonymous voice communication using telephones. The trusted agent includes an access network communications unit, a memory device and a voice bridge processor coupled to the memory device and the access network communications unit. The voice bridge processor receives information through the access network communications unit from at least one user and connects the at least one user to a telephone network for anonymous voice communication. The voice bridge processor displays to the at least one user a display panel prompting the at least one user to enter a telephone number and an identification. The voice bridge processor searches the memory device for an entry corresponding to the identification entered by the at least one user. If the entry corresponding to the identification is found, then the voice bridge processor connects the at least one user with another user identified with the identification entered by the at least one user. If the identification entered by the at least one user is not found, the voice bridge processor creates an entry in the memory device corresponding to the at least one user.
