1. A method for routing a call, the method comprising:
- determining, with a processor, an availability of a wireless communication unit associated with a landline communication unit, a called party destination number of the call corresponding to a first destination number associated with the landline communication unit;
determining, with the processor, whether the call is to be routed to the wireless communication unit instead of the landline communication unit based on the availability of the wireless communication unit; and
in response to the wireless communication unit being determined to be available, replacing, with the processor, a calling party destination number of the call with a second destination number associated with the wireless communication unit to route the call to the wireless communication unit.
