ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a long distance telephone communication system which is convenient and cost effective. This system advantageously combines or makes use of existing communication channels or networks. The system and method relies on an intermediate leg of the distribution network being an INTERNET segment. Conventional PSTN telephone communication is typically used for initial and final legs. Real time voice telephone communications are completed by the system. Telephone to telephone long distance communications use INTERNET between two commercial providers, with these commercial providers interacting seamlessly with conventional telephones, thereby making the system widely available to telephone subscribers.
