Abstract
A system and method are disclosed that may help a user manage wireless data communications. As part of the method, a user may communicatively link a wireless enabled device, like a cellular telephone, to a local area network (LAN) that may include other and different electronic devices. The phone may receive a data call that includes a message sent using SMS, EMS, MMS, or some other service. The phone may send information contained in the data call via the LAN to a different LAN connected electronic device. If the different electronic device has an associated display, an image representing the information may be presented on the display.
