Portable Communications Device Coupled to First Network by Way of Second Network
First Claim
1. A portable communications device (PCD) for being coupled to a first network by way of a second network, the PCD normally in radio communication with the first network, the PCD being coupled to the first network by way of the second network when the PCD is out of radio communication with the first network, the PCD comprising:
- a first operational portion automatically sensing coupling of the PCD to the second network and leaving a first network mode and entering a second network mode;
a second operational portion automatically establishing a network connection between the CPD and the first network by way of the second network; and
a third operational portion automatically entering into communication between the PCD and the first network by way of the second network.

Abstract
A portable communications device (PCD) is coupled to a first network by way of a second network. The PCD is normally in radio communication with the first network, and is coupled to the first network by way of the second network when the PCD is out of radio communication with the first network. In particular, the PCD is coupled to the second network, and is caused to leave a first network mode and enter a second network mode. A network connection is established with the first network by way of the second network, and communication with the first network is entered into by way of the second network.
