1. A method of transferring data over a network from a first portable electronic device to a second portable electronic device comprising the steps of:
- establishing a voice-call path over said network between a first and a second telephony devices by initiating a voice-call connection from said first telephony device to said second telephony device, the first and second telephony devices having first and second network portals, respectively, and capable of supporting a wireless protocol;
initiating a data exchange from said first portable electronic device to said second portable electronic devices, each of said first and second portable electronic devices including said wireless protocol;
sending the data from said first portable electronic device to said first network portal via said wireless protocol;
opening a TCP socket over said network from said first telephony device to said second telephony device using the same address as the voice-call path;
sending the data from said first network portal of the first telephony device to the second network portal of the second telephony device via said socket;
sending the data from said second network portal to said second portable electronic device via said wireless protocol; and
terminating said voice-call connection and said voice-call path upon successful transmission of the data,wherein said first and second portable electronic devices are unregistered with said first and second telephony devices.

7. A system for transferring data aver a network from a first portable electronic device to a second portable electronic device comprising:
-
first and second telephony devices for initiating a voice-call connection from said first telephony device to said second telephony devices, the first and second telephony devices having first and second network portals, respectively, and capable of supporting a wireless protocol; the first network portal of the first telephony device having a wireless interface for receiving said data beamed from said first portable electronic device via said wireless protocol after said voice-call is established, a TCP socket opened from said first telephony device to said second telephony device using the same address as the voice-call connection; the second network portal of the second telephony device for receiving the data via said TCP socket, and beaming said data to said second portable electronic device via a further wireless interface and upon successful transmission of said data the voice-call connection is terminated, whereby said data is transferred from said first to said second portable electronic device through said telephony devices and said portable electronic devices are unregistered with said telephony devices. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
