1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a system comprising a processor, information of a call directed to a telephone number assigned to a wireless device and a cellular device;
in response to the receiving the information, initiating, by the system, the call to the cellular device before initiating the call to the wireless device based on a delay that is determined to be associated with a cellular network;
determining, by the system, whether the call was answered via the wireless device;
in response to determining that the call was answered via the wireless device, sending, by the system via a first wireless access point device of a first wireless network that is associated with a first service provider, a first data packet of the call directed to the wireless device utilizing a voice over internet protocol;
receiving, by the system, a medium access control address from the wireless device via a second wireless access point device of a second wireless network that is associated with a second service provider different from the first service provider;
determining, by the system based on the medium access control address, that the wireless device moved from a first wireless coverage area of the first wireless network to a second wireless coverage area of the second wireless network;
in response to determining that the medium access control address is assigned an internet protocol address that corresponds to the second wireless access point device, sending, by the system via the second wireless access point device, a second data packet of the call directed to the wireless device; and
establishing, by the system, a voice over internet protocol session via the first wireless access point device, the second wireless access point device, and the wireless device using the internet protocol address.

Abstract
Integrated voice and data services are provided that utilize wired cordless access with unlicensed/unregulated connectivity sources. A digital cordless telephone operates over unlicensed/unregulated spectrum in conjunction with one or more wireless access points (WAPs) that are installed in homes, businesses, entertainment venues, and the like. The WAPs are connected to a communications service provider'"'"'s broadband packet data network. A user may use the device when they are in range of another wireless access point in a public or private building that also is connected to their communications service provider'"'"'s broadband packet data network.

8. A system, comprising:
-
a memory that stores executable instructions; and a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the executable instructions to perform operations, comprising; receiving information of a call directed to a telephone number assigned to a wireless device and a cellular device; in response to the receiving the information, forwarding first data associated with the call to the cellular device before forwarding the first data to the wireless device based on a delay that is determined to be associated with a cellular network; detecting whether the call was answered via the wireless device; in response to detecting that the call was answered via the wireless device, sending, via a first wireless access point device of a first wireless network that is associated with a voice over internet protocol and a first service provider, second data associated with the call directed to the wireless device; in response to receiving a medium access control address from the wireless device via a second wireless access point device of a second wireless network that is associated with the voice over internet protocol and a second service provider that is different from the first service provider, determining the wireless device moved from a first wireless coverage area of the first wireless network to a second wireless coverage area of the second wireless network; determining whether the medium access control address is assigned an internet protocol address corresponding to the second wireless access point device; in response to determining that the medium access control address is assigned the internet protocol address, sending, via the second wireless access point device, third data associated with the call directed to the wireless device; and creating a voice over internet protocol session via the first wireless access point device, the second wireless access point device, and the wireless device utilizing the internet protocol address. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
