Abstract
A device includes a wireless communication interface configured to couple to a plurality of networks, a processor coupled to the wireless communication interface, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory is to store a set of executable instructions configured to manipulate the processor to determine a set of characteristics for each wireless network of a set of accessible wireless networks and determine a select wireless network of the set of accessible wireless networks based on a comparison of a set of characteristics of the device to the set of characteristics for each wireless network of the set of accessible wireless networks. The set of executable instructions further are configured to manipulate the processor to initiate a telephone call via the select wireless network.
