Abstract
A wireless communication link is established between a mobile station and a landline station, independently of the landline and wireless telecommunications networks. The mobile station, while engaged in a call via a wireless telecommunications network, may wirelessly transmit a bridging signal to a transceiver, in order to include the landline station in the call independently of the landline telecommunications network. While the landline station is engaged in a call via the landline telecommunications network, the transceiver may wirelessly transmit a bridging signal to the mobile station, in order to include the mobile station in the call independently of the wireless telecommunications network.
