1. A mobile device configured for communication in both packet switched and circuit switched domains, comprising:
- a domain selector configured, upon receipt of an incoming call via a first domain that is one of the packet switched and circuit switched domains, to determine, by the mobile device, a selection of a second domain in which to accept the incoming call, wherein the second domain is the other one of the packet switched and circuit switched domains other than the first domain, and wherein the domain selector is further configured to send the selection of the second domain to a technology selector; and
the technology selector configured to transmit a message, by the mobile device, responsive to the incoming call in the first domain to a network element via a wireless communications network, wherein the network element is capable of interpreting the message, the interpreting comprising determining that the incoming call will be established in the second domain and setting up, by the mobile device, the incoming call via the second domain.

Abstract
A mobile device configured for communication in both packet and circuit switched domains. The mobile device includes a domain selector. The domain selector is configured, responsive to selection by a user of one of the packet switched and circuit switched domains, to promote mobile device communication via the selected one of the packet switched and circuit switched domains.

9. A method in a mobile device for selecting a communication domain, comprising:
-
receiving, at the mobile device, an incoming call via a first domain that is one of a packet switched and circuit switched domains; determining, at the mobile device, a selection of a second domain in which to accept the incoming call, the second domain being the other one of the packet switched and circuit switched domains other than the first domain; communicating, from the mobile device, a message responsive to the incoming call in the first domain to a network element via a wireless communications network, wherein the network element is capable of interpreting the message, the interpreting comprising determining that the incoming call will be established in the second domain; setting up, at the mobile device, a new communications connection in the second domain. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method in a dual mode mobile device, comprising:
-
receiving an incoming call in a packet switched domain; determining a selection at the dual mode mobile device to accept the incoming call in a circuit switched domain, wherein determining the selection occurs during an initialization of a communications connection responsive to receiving the incoming call; transmitting a message used to indicate the selection of the circuit switched domain, wherein the message is transmitted to a network element configured to interpret the message and cause the incoming call to be established in the circuit switched domain; and setting up a new communication connection for the incoming call in the circuit switched domain. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
