Device and method for communication devices

1. A method, comprising:

transmitting, by a first communications device to a wireless services manager arrangement (WSMA), contact identification data associated with a second communications device;

determining, by the WSMA, association data as a function of the contact identification data and a contact identification database;

determining, by the WSMA, one of a plurality of operating modes for the first communications device as a function of the association data;

communicatively connecting the first communications device with the second communications device utilizing the determined operating mode; and

customizing a caller identification of the first communication device which is received at the second communication device based on the determined operating mode.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a first operating mode of the operating modes is an enterprise operating mode and a second operating mode of the operating modes is a personal operating mode.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the operating mode is indicative of a network pathway in which the first communications device communicatively connects with the second communications device.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the network pathway for the enterprise operating mode is over a local area network (LAN).

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the network pathway for the personal operating mode is over a wide area network (WAN).

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the contact identification data is one of a phone number, a Voice-Over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) number, an email address, a text message, and an instant message.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the contact identification data is one of selected from a contact database stored on the first communications device and manually entered with an input device of the first communications device.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the contact identification database includes a plurality of enterprise hash values, each enterprise hash value corresponding to a respective enterprise contact identity.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

encoding, by the first communications device, the contact identification data to generate a hash value,

wherein the first communications device transmits the hash value corresponding to the contact identification data to the WSMA, and

wherein the determining, by the WSMA, of the operating mode is a comparison between the hash value to the enterprise hash values.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the contact identification database is stored on an enterprise network database.

11. A wireless services manager arrangement, comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive contact identification data from a first communications device that is associated with a second communications device; and

a processor configured to determine association data as a function of the contact identification data and a contact identification database, the processor configured to determine one of a plurality of operating modes for the first communications device as a function of the association data,

wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit a response indicative of the determined operating mode to the first communications device so that the first communications device communicatively connects with the second communications device utilizing the determined operating mode and customizes a caller identification received at the second communication device based on the determined operating mode.

12. The wireless services manager arrangement of claim 11 , wherein a first operating mode of the operating modes is an enterprise operating mode and a second operating mode of the operating modes is a personal operating mode.

13. The wireless services manager arrangement of claim 12 , wherein the operating mode is indicative of a network pathway in which the first communications device communicatively connects with the second communications device.

14. The wireless services manager arrangement of claim 13 , wherein the network pathway for the enterprise operating mode is over a LAN.

15. The wireless services manager arrangement of claim 13 , wherein the network pathway for the personal operating mode is over a WAN.

16. The wireless services manager arrangement of claim 11 , wherein the contact identification data is one of a phone number, a VoIP number, an email address, a text message, and an instant message.

17. The wireless services manager arrangement of claim 11 , wherein the contact identification data is one of selected from a contact database stored on the first communications device and manually entered with an input device of the first communications device.

18. The wireless services manager arrangement of claim 11 , wherein the contact identification database includes a plurality of enterprise hash values, each enterprise hash value corresponding to a respective enterprise contact identity.

19. The wireless services manager arrangement of claim 18 , wherein the transceiver receives a hash value of the contact identification data encoded and generated by the first communications device so that the determining of the operating mode is a comparison between the hash value to the enterprise hash values.

20. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including a set of instructions executable by a processor, the set of instructions operable to:

transmit, by a first communications device to a WSMA, contact identification data associated with a second communications device;

determine, by the WSMA, association data as a function of the contact identification data and a contact identification database;

determine, by the WSMA, one of a plurality of operating modes for the first communications device as a function of the association data;

communicatively connect the first communications device with the second communications device utilizing the determined operating mode; and

customizing a caller identification of the first communication device which is received at the second communication device based on the determined operating mode.
