FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: indirect communication system and indirect communication method includes mobile phone as calling device (100) or as receiving device (102). Mobile phone calls other device to establish supposed communication and then uses "voice-over-IP" (VoIP) protocol to exchange data with other device over Internet (114). Receiving device (102) receives shaped signal notifying receiving device about suggested communication with calling device. Server (108) establishes point of contact link after calling device has connected to the server. The server receives outgoing VoIP packets from calling device and redirects outgoing VoIP packets to receiving device.
EFFECT: possibility to continue call through contact point server between receiving and calling devices even after calling device has disconnected from receiving one after signal has been sent which leads to reduction of phone or air time usage costs.
