1. An apparatus for providing communication between communication devices, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory circuit configured to store a first user status identifying a first recipient, and a second user status identifying a second recipient, the second user status different from the first user status, the second recipient different from the first recipient, the first user status and the second user status from a first communication device; and
a processor in data communication with the memory circuit, the processor configured to;
receive a request to contact the first communication device from a second communication device,identify an association of the second communication device with either the first recipient or the second recipient based on respective attributes of the first recipient and the second recipient, andselect one of the first user status and the second user status based on the association.
