`
`Computer-implemented systems and methods to manage electronic
`communications are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus, using at least a
`network-based portal based on Internet protocol, receives a message with a user
`identifier from a person’s wireless device; provides a number of communication
`options to a first user, with all the options using a user identifier of a second user
`to receive messages, the options including text messaging, voice call, multimedia
`messaging, and group messaging; receives an indication from the first user
`indicating the selection of a communication option from the person based on
`options provided to the pereon-wi-t-h-aH-the-optians using the user identifier, in view
`of the portal being based on the Internet protocol; permits the second user to block
`the person first user from accessing the second user; eaabfaa-the-masaaga-ta-ba
`received by the useref-the-parson is not blocked by the user; and determines asar
`availability of the second user to receive the a_message. In the embodiment, the
`apparatus requires user contact information far of the second user to receive
`messages, with the user contact information not provided to the person first user
`even when the message is received by the second user, and with the user contact
