Abstract
Methods and systems for facilitating communication sessions between multiple communication points via a contact number. The method includes receiving a purchase request from a first user device, through a first communication point which is enabled with a context-to-call (C2C) feature. The method further includes facilitating displaying of a predetermined list of contact numbers on the first user device and receiving a contact number selected by the first user. The method also includes processing the purchase request based, at least in part, on receiving subscription fees. The method also includes assigning the contact number to a C2C-enabled account of the first user, as a dedicated C2C-enabled contact number, based, at least in part, on purchase request-processing step. The method also includes facilitating the C2C-enabled account of the first user to receive calls from second user(s), on the dedicated C2C-enabled contact number, based, at least in part, on C2C contact-assigning step.
