Abstract:

A method for routing wireless communications by a host system comprises receiving from a wireless communication device(CD) of a wireless subscriber(WS) a valid routing request data; authenticating WS's account information as valid subscriber account based on predetermined authentication criteria, and if account information is valid, receiving from wireless CD a destination telephone number(DTN) of a destination CD, resolving the valid routing request data to a predetermined wire-based medium; and establishing communication between subscriber's CD and destination CD via predetermined wire-based medium based on DTN. Another method comprises receiving from a user's CD a valid routing request data and a DTN of a wireless CD of WS; authenticating WS's account as valid based on received DTN and predetermined authentication criteria; and if WS's account is valid, resolving valid routing request data to a predetermined wire-based medium; and establishing communication between user's CD and subscriber's CD via predetermined wire-based medium.
