Rules of communication are established between a wireless communication
device (102) and a remote source (108). Communications between the
wireless communication device (102) and the remote source (108) are
managed to prohibit at least one of an identity and a location of the
wireless communication device (102) from being known to the remote source
(108) responsive to the established rules of communication. The steps of
establishing and managing may be implemented in a wireless communication
device (102), a wireless communication network (104), and/or a location
privacy manager (106). The rules of communication preferably include a
password generated by the remote source (108), an identity of the remote
source (108), an identity of a location privacy manager (106), and/or
masking of the identity of the wireless communication device (102). The
wireless communication device (102) is preferably a cellular telephone
device. The remote source (108) is preferably a location-enabled service,
such as, for example, a map service, a people finder service, or a remote
party.
