Roaming between various link service and messengers and alternative roaming for telephone connection

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions, the sequences of instructions including instructions which, when executed by a computer based system, cause the computer based system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, by the computer based system from a first electronic device via a first electronic device associated with a first user, a request to open a first internet protocol communication channel, through a first server associated with the first communication application, with a second electronic device having one or more processors, and a memory, the memory storing a second communication application having a second identity,
• responsive to detecting an insufficient Internet connection for establishing the first internet protocol communication channel with the second electronic device, placing, by a computer based system, a telephone call to a third electronic device, wherein the third electronic device has a sufficient Internet connection to establish the first internet protocol communication channel with the second electronic device;
• receiving, by the computer based system, a second request from the third communication application to open the first internet protocol communication channel, through a third server associated with the third communication application, with the second device, and
• after establishing the first internet protocol communication channel with the second communication device, facilitating communication between the first electronic device, through a phone connection, and the second electronic device, through the first internet protocol communication channel.

A computer based system comprising:

• processor;
• a tangible network interface communicating with a tangible, non-transitory memory;
• the tangible, non-transitory memory communicating with the processor;
• and
• the processor, when executing a computer program, perform operations comprising:
• receiving, by the computer based system from a first electronic device via a first electronic device associated with a first user, a request to open a first internet protocol communication channel, through a first server associated with the first communication application, with a second electronic device having one or more processors, and a memory, the memory storing a second communication application having a second identity,
• responsive to detecting an insufficient Internet connection for establishing the first internet protocol communication channel with the second electronic device, placing, by a computer based system, a telephone call to a third electronic device, wherein the third electronic device has a sufficient Internet connection to establish the first internet protocol communication channel with the second electronic device;
• receiving, by the computer based system, a second request from the third communication application to open the first internet protocol communication channel, through a third server associated with the third communication application, with the second device, and
• after establishing the first internet protocol communication channel with the second communication device, facilitating communication between the first electronic device, through a phone connection, and the second electronic device, through the first internet protocol communication channel.
