System, method, and device for providing temporary communication and calendaring applications in a private network

A communication device and method are disclosed for providing temporary communication features, temporary scheduling features, or combinations thereof associated with temporary membership in a private network, such as that associated with a hotel, resort, or cruise ship. An association module can register the communication device with the private network as a temporary member device. A private network information retriever can then retrieve one or both of private network directory information and private network scheduling information. An integrator can then integrate this information into an address book application or a calendaring application to provide additional functionality for the communication device.
