Abstract
For location-based communication with mobile devices, an instruction for making a telecommunication call to a location is received at a device associated with a caller. the location is a place where different callees with different mobile devices are present at different times, and a callee is present with a mobile device at the place at a specified time therefore the call is made to the mobile device of the callee in order to call the location. A set of potential callees is identified such that each mobile device associated with each callee in set of callees is present at the location at the given time. From the device associated with the caller, the telecommunication call is initiated to mobile devices associated with a subset of potential callees, including the callee.
