4. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the artificial device code and the sub-device identifier are removed to call an outside line.
5. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the first transceiver is a handset, a phone, a gateway, a base station, a server, a cell tower, a transceiver, a computer, a palm top, a laptop, a tablet, or a personal digital assistant.
6. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the second transceiver is a handset, a phone, a gateway, a base station, a server, a cell tower, a transceiver, a computer, a palm top, a laptop, a tablet, or a personal digital assistant.
7. A method of communication, comprising: applying a first identifier to a first transceiver; applying a second identifier to a second transceiver; applying a first sub-identifier to a first sub-device comprised of the first identifier and a first device code; applying a second sub-identifier to a second sub-device comprised of the second identifier and a second device code; providing a first communication channel between the first sub-device and the second sub-device; providing a second communication channel between the first sub-device and the second transceiver; transmitting first information from the first sub-device on the first communication channel identified by the first sub-identifier; transmitting second information from the second sub-device on the first communication channel identified by the second sub-identifier; transmitting third information from the first sub-device on the second communication channel identified by the first identifier; and transmitting fourth information from the second transceiver on the second communication channel identified by the second identifier, wherein the first sub-identifier is comprised of an artificial device code, a sub-device identifier assigned to the first transceiver, and the first identifier, and wherein the second sub-identifier is comprised of an artificial device code, a sub-device identifier assigned to the second transceiver, and the second identifier.
8. A communication system, comprising: a first transceiver having a first identifier; a second transceiver having a second identifier; a server having a third identifier; a first sub-device having a first sub-identifier comprised of the first identifier and a first device code; a second sub-device having a second sub-identifier comprised of the second identifier and a second device code; a first communication channel between the first sub-device and the second sub-device; a second communication channel between the first sub-device and the server, the second communication channel not concurrent with the first communication channel; a third communication channel between the second sub-device and the server, the third communication channel not concurrent with the first communication channel; a first transmission of information from the first sub-device on the first communication channel identified by the first sub-identifier; a second transmission of information from the first sub-device on the second communication channel identified by the first sub-identifier, the second transmission of information following the first transmission of information and being relayed by the server to the second sub-device; and a third transmission of information from the second sub-device on the third communication channel identified by the second sub-identifier; the third transmission of information following the first transmission of information and being relayed by the server to the first sub-device, wherein the first sub-identifier is comprised of an artificial device code, a sub-device identifier assigned to the first transceiver, and the first identifier, and wherein the second sub-identifier is comprised of an artificial device code, a sub-device identifier assigned to the second transceiver, and the second identifier.
9. The communication system of claim 8 , wherein the server is a computer, a base station, a handset, a Voice over Internet Protocol handset, a Voice over Internet Protocol controller, a switch box, or a dedicated black box device and peripherals.
10. The communication system of claim 8 , wherein an address of a meeting point on the server comprises an identification identifier of the second transceiver and an Internet Protocol address or a Domain Name System name of the server.
11. The communication system of claim 8 , wherein the second communication channel comprises packets formatted with a format selected from the group consisting of: Voice over Internet Protocol, Internet Protocol, and User Datagram Protocol.
12. The communication system of claim 8 , wherein the third communication channel comprises packets formatted with a format selected from the group consisting of: Voice over Internet Protocol, Internet Protocol, and User Datagram Protocol.
13. The communication system of claim 10 , wherein if the second transceiver accepts the first transmission, the second transceiver connects to the meeting point.
14. The communication system of claim 10 , wherein if the second transceiver declines the first transmission, the second transceiver sends a decline message to the server and the server relays the decline message to the first transceiver.
15. The communication system of claim 10 , wherein if the second transceiver suggests an alternative meeting point, the second transceiver connects to the alternative meeting point.
16. The communication system of claim 11 , wherein the packets are redirected at the server by changing a sending address of each packet header from an address of the meeting point to an address of the second transceiver.
17. The communication system of claim 12 , wherein the packets are redirected at the server by changing a sending address of each packet header from an address of the meeting point to an address of the second transceiver.
18. A method of communication, comprising: applying a first identifier to a first transceiver; applying a second identifier to a second transceiver; applying a third identifier to a server; providing a first sub-device having a first sub-identifier comprised of the first identifier and a first device code; providing a second sub-device having a second sub-identifier comprised of the second identifier and a second device code; providing a first communication channel between the first sub-device and the second sub-device; providing a second communication channel between the first sub-device and the server, the second communication channel not concurrent with the first communication channel; providing a third communication channel between the second sub-device and the server, the third communication channel not concurrent with the first communication channel; transmitting first information from the first sub-device on the first communication channel identified by the first sub-identifier; transmitting second information from the first sub-device on the second communication channel identified by the first sub-identifier, the second transmission of information following the first transmission of information; relaying the second transmission of information to the second sub-device by the server; transmitting third information from the second sub-device on the third communication channel identified by the second sub-identifier, the third transmission of information following the first transmission of information; and relaying the third transmission of information to the first sub-device by the server, wherein the first sub-identifier is comprised of an artificial device code, a sub-device identifier assigned to the first transceiver, and the first identifier, and wherein the second sub-identifier is comprised of an artificial device code, a sub-device identifier assigned to the second transceiver, and the second identifier.
