1. A memory device in a communication device comprising a mobile application which is executed by a processor to perform the actions of:
communicatively coupling the mobile communications device to a special service platform through a network to obtain a relationship number and to associate the relationship number with a first network recognizable number assigned to the mobile communications device and a second network recognizable number assigned to a third-party communications device;
in response to a user actuating the mobile communications device by dialing the relationship number, initiating a communication to the relationship number, whereby the relationship number is a network recognizable number that the network terminates at the special service platform and whereby the special service platform directs the call towards the second network recognizable number assigned to the third-party communications device and associated with the relationship number; and
in response to receiving an incoming communication, wherein a calling line identifier is set to the relationship number, the mobile application using the relationship number to identify the second network recognizable number assigned to the third-party communications device that is initiating the incoming communication.
