Method and system for multiparty calling using a dual mode phone with private call
First Claim
1. A method for multi-party communication for push-to-talk on a dual mode communication device, comprising the steps of:
- establishing an interconnect call on a first network between the dual mode communication device and a second communication device;
receiving a request for a private call on a second network from a third communication device; and
mixing and routing audio from the private call and the interconnect call at the dual mode communication device when a multiparty call mode is selectively chosen.

Abstract
A method (100) and system (20) for multiparty communication using at least one dual mode communication device includes a dual mode radio (11) having at least a first modem (12) for operation on a first network and a second modem (13) for operation on a second network and a processor (55) coupled to the radio. The dual mode radio can be programmed to establish (102) an interconnect call on a first network between the dual mode radio and a second communication device, receive (104) a request for a private call on a second network from a third communication device, and mix and route (106) audio from the private call and the interconnect call at the dual mode radio when a multiparty call mode is selectively chosen. The dual mode radio can be a first modem operating on a CDMA network and a second modem operating on an iDEN network.
