Various embodiments support communications between a computing device and one or more different computing devices. In accordance with one or more implementations, a geographic location of a different computing device is determined, and a telephone number is assigned to a computing device based on the geographic location of the different computing device. Upon receiving a communication addressed to the assigned telephone number, the communication is routed to the computing device. In implementations where the computing device is communicating with multiple different computing devices, different telephone numbers can be assigned to the computing device based on respective geographic locations of the multiple different computing devices. Upon receiving a communication addressed to one of the different telephone numbers, the communication is routed to the computing device. In this manner, communication sessions between computing devices can be established using local numbers, even when the computing devices are in different geographical locations.
