person-to-person
Between two individuals
Person-to-person describes direct interaction between individuals, without intermediaries: person-to-person communication, a person-to-person meeting.
In telecommunications, a person-to-person call is placed to a specific individual rather than whoever answers—the caller pays only if that person comes to the phone.
The phrase emphasizes human contact over institutional or technological channels.
