Abstract
A system for operating a wireless mobile device that automatically re-establishes a telephone call after unintended disconnection is disclosed and may include at least one processor operable to wirelessly receive, via a communication network, a first telephone call having associated information identifying a calling party. The at least one processor may be operable to determine whether the calling party or the wireless mobile device is to establish a second telephone call between the calling party and the wireless mobile device upon failure of the first telephone call. The at least one processor may be operable to store the information identifying the calling party of the first telephone call, and to detect a failure of the first telephone call. The at least one processor may be operable to determine whether call re-establishment should be attempted, based upon one or more pre-determined factors.
