Abstract

A system and method for facilitating communication over a global electronic network (e.g., the Internet) comprises a web site having a dynamic directory which stores the on-line status of registered users of the Internet, along with permanent communication numbers and current IP addresses for each registered user. A user seeking to establish communication with another registered user enters the target user's permanent communication number. If the target user is on-line, the requesting user receives the target user's current IP address from the directory, and instant or live communication then ensues. In the event that the target user is not on-line, the system will route the requesting user's message to video or voice mail for the target user. When the target user eventually comes on-line, the target user can retrieve messages from his or her mailbox. In one aspect, a system and method are provided for allowing either live or delayed communication to occur between users based upon whether the target user is on-line or off-line.
