1. A method of wirelessly interconnecting a mobile unit with a peripheral device using Bluetooth, the method comprising:
- establishing a Bluetooth interconnect between a mobile unit and a peripheral device, the mobile unit comprising a radio frequency transceiver, a microprocessor, a memory and an audio-visual interface, the peripheral device comprising a radio frequency transceiver, a microprocessor, a memory and an audio-visual interface;
determining by the mobile unit that the Bluetooth interconnect is authorized, the determining being based on a security field, an identification of the peripheral device and authorization by a user;
outputting information indicating the Bluetooth interconnect by the audio-visual interface of the mobile unit;
establishing a link between the mobile unit and a website, through a base station;
receiving a communication by the mobile unit from the peripheral device, using the Bluetooth interconnect, the communication comprising at least one packet transmitted using a wireless communication;
transmitting the communication from the mobile unit to the website, using the link;
receiving by the mobile unit a confirmation that the communication was sent to the website; and
transmitting the confirmation from the mobile unit to the peripheral device.
