Abstract
The invention includes to establishing a network phone call connection between a caller and a callee. The network includes a caller connected to the network through a first network access provider. The callee is connectable to the network through one of a first or a second network access provider. A network phone call connection between the caller and callee may be established by creating a look-up service and a callee connection service. Subsequent to the creation of the look-up service and the callee connection service, the invention determines whether the callee is connected to the network. If yes, a network phone call connection to the callee is established. If no, the look-up service and callee connection service is employed to connect the callee to network. Then, once this is done, a network phone call connection to the callee is established.
