An integrated telephony service can provide users with a single phone
number and a single handset for use as a cordless device at a stationary
location and for use as a mobile device. Incoming calls can be routed to
the handset at the stationary location over a landline network. If
unanswered at the stationary location, the calls can be routed to the
handset via a service delivery point of presence over a wireless network.
For outgoing calls from the handset, a switch within the handset can
select cordless device operation when the handset is within range of a
landline base station unit connected to the landline network and the
handset can function as a cordless device in cooperation with the
landline base station. If the handset is not within range of the landline
base station, the switch can select mobile device operation and the call
can be placed over the wireless network with the handset functioning as a
mobile device.
