1. A system for coupling at least one POTS-type telephone device to a radio network, comprising:

  • interface means coupled to at least one POTS-type telephone device for providing at least some central office functions thereto;

    a radio mobile handset connected to a radio network for communication therewith, and having a wireless-enabled transceiver;

    a wireless-connectivity transceiver for coupling said interface means to a radio mobile handset for providing bi-directional communication therebetween for communicating with a wireless-enabled transceiver of a radio mobile handset for generating signals for coupling said interface means to a wireless-enabled transceiver of a radio mobile handset, so that the at least one POTS-type telephone device is coupled to a radio network via a radio mobile handset, whereby the mobile handset is allowed mobility of movement, and for generating signals for implementing connectivity to a mobile handset via its wireless-enabled transceiver for establishing incoming and outgoing calls for the at least one POTS-type telephone device via a radio network, and for sending digits input into the at least one POTS-type telephone device so that an outgoing call over a radio network may be made thereby;

    a microprocessor, memory for said microprocessor, software stored in said memory for said microprocessor for controlling said wireless-connectivity transceiver and said interface means for coupling the at least one POTS-type telephone device to a mobile handset for bidirectional communication therebetween for connecting the at least one POTS-type telephone device to a radio network;

    said wireless-connectivity transceiver for communicating with a remote wirelessly-enabled transceiver of a mobile handset connected a radio network comprising a wireless-connectivity transceiver capable of being coupled with any of a wireless-enabled GSM-based and CDMA-based standard transceiver.
