Anonymous Voice Conversation
First Claim
1. Apparatus to anonymize at least two digital voice communication devices actively interacting in two-way digital packet voice communication with one another, comprising:
- an anonymous digital voice communication module to form a digital packet gateway between said at least two actively interacting digital voice communication devices, said anonymous digital voice communication module anonymizing said active two-way digital packet voice communication by substituting for a real address in source fields of digital packets associated with said active interaction passing therethrough with an anonymous address, and substituting for an anonymous address in destination fields of digital packets associated with said active interaction passing therethrough with an affiliated real address, before forwarding said intercepted digital packet voice communication to an intended destination associated with said real address;
wherein anonymity is maintained between said at least two digital voice communication devices vis-à
-vis each other.

Abstract
An anonymous communication module that provides full conversational anonymous messaging and voice/video communication between two or more parties interacting over a wireless/landline network. An anonymous messaging module accepts an anonymous initiation message to a public address to trigger the start of an anonymous voice/video conversation between a message originator and a message recipient. An anonymous communication module performs intercept and address substitution on a message and/or voice/video call transmitted between two or more parties via an anonymous communication service. The anonymous communication module substitutes a real address in the source field of an intercepted message and/or voice/video call, with an anonymous address mapped to that real address, and substitutes an anonymous address in the destination field of an intercepted message and/or voice/video call with a real address mapped to that anonymous address. The anonymous communication module then forwards the newly formatted message and/or voice/video call to an intended message/call destination.
