First and second users log in using at least one of a plurality of
respective communication devices. Address information of the
communication devices used by the first and second users to log in are
sent to respective first and second servers, separated from each other by
at least one wide area network. A user identifier for the second user is
displayed in a quick dial list of user identifiers selected by the first
user. The first user selects the displayed second user's identifier to
request communication with the second user. The first user also selects a
communication type. In response, the first server is queried to obtain
the current address information for the selected second user. The
received address information is used to establish the selected
communication type, over the wide area network, between the first and
second users.
