A system and method for facilitating voice communications between an end
user and a third party Internet web application. In accordance with one
embodiment of the invention, the communication interface unit is operated
by an entity separate from the entity operating the third party Internet
web application. The communication interface unit receives a voice
communication from the end user device and converts the voice
communication into a data communication capable of being received and
processed by the third party Internet web application. The communication
interface unit then transmits the data communication to the third party
Internet web application for processing. After the third party Internet
web application has processed at least a portion of the data
communication, the communication interface unit receives a data
communication back from the third party Internet web application. The
communication interface unit then converts the data communication into a
voice communication and transmits the voice communication to the end user
device.
