ABSTRACT:
A mobile ad hoc network may be established between a plurality of devices that have common contacts on their contact lists. The contact lists may be conventional contacts stored in a list of contacts on a scheduling and information management or other software packages in one embodiment. Communications with various devices is limited to those devices listed on the list of contacts. Modification of those lists of contacts is controlled on a password-protected basis in one embodiment. Thus, a parent, for example, may limit the ability of child users to contact or be contacted by and communicate with unauthorized persons.
