The method includes sending origination information from a mobile device to an application server in an enterprise network using Short Message Service (SMS) and determining whether a hotline feature is present in a subscriber profile associated with the mobile device. Data is then routed from the mobile device to a predetermined destination based on the hotline feature. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, comprising: activating a hotline feature in a subscriber profile associated with a mobile device; initiating a communication session from a mobile device intended for a destination device; transmitting a data message from a gateway server to an application server comprising session setup information corresponding to the communication session and originating subscriber information corresponding to the mobile device and destination information corresponding to the destination device, responsive to receiving the data message at the application server, storing the originating subscriber information and the destination information; routing a first session leg from the mobile device to a gateway server; instructing the gateway, via the application server, to initiate routing a second session leg from the gateway server to the destination device; and joining, via the gateway server, the first session leg and the second session leg to complete the communication session between the mobile device and the destination device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the data message is one of a short message service (SMS) message, a mobile data message and an unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) message. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile device accepts the routing of one or more of the session legs automatically. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising analyzing possible session routes via the gateway server for routing the communication session and rerouting the communication session to an enterprise network. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the enterprise network processes the communication session with a voice over the Internet protocol (VoIP). ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the second session leg is established at least one of simultaneously, in advance of, and after the first session leg is established. ### Claim 7 A method, comprising: responsive to receiving, at an application server, a data message comprising originating subscriber information corresponding to a mobile device and destination information corresponding to a destination device in advance of a first session leg routed from the mobile device to a gateway server communicatively coupled to the application server based on an activated hotline feature in a subscriber profile associated with the mobile device; storing the originating subscriber information and the destination information; routing the first session leg from the mobile device to the gateway server; instructing the gateway, via the application server, to initiate routing a second session leg from the gateway server to the destination device; and joining, via the gateway server, the first session leg and the second session leg to complete a session between the mobile device and the destination device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the data message comprises a session request as one of a short message service (SMS) message, a mobile data message and an unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) message. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the second session leg is established at least one of simultaneously, in advance of, and after the first session leg is established. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising: responsive to receiving a session request, originating the session via the application server to the destination device identified via the session request; receiving a response to the session request from the destination device at the application server; and transmitting a session connection message to the mobile device from the application server indicating a session connection to the destination device. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, comprising performing a handover to a different communication network than a communication network of at least one of the first session leg and the second session leg. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the different communication network is at least one of a WiFi network, a packet data network and a cellular network. ### Claim 13 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein a third session leg is established if one of the first session leg and the second session leg fails and is used to re-establish a connection for the failed session leg while the other session leg is still active. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein a party connected to the remaining of the first and the second session legs is notified of a connection re-establishment, and wherein the third session leg is established by one of the application server and the mobile device. ### Claim 15 A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed causes a processor to perform: activating a hotline feature in a subscriber profile associated with a mobile device; initiating a communication session from a mobile device intended for a destination device; transmitting a data message from a gateway server to an application server comprising session setup information corresponding to the communication session and originating subscriber information corresponding to the mobile device and destination information corresponding to the destination device, responsive to receiving the data message at the application server, storing the originating subscriber information and the destination information; routing a first session leg from the mobile device to a gateway server; instructing the gateway, via the application server, to initiate routing a second session leg from the gateway server to the destination device; and joining, via the gateway server, the first session leg and the second session leg to complete the communication session between the mobile device and the destination device. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the data message is one of a short message service (SMS) message, a mobile data message and an unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) message. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 configured to store instructions that when executed causes the processor to perform: capturing and analyzing origination information and destination information from the gateway server (GS); identifying a route to the final destination via the GS; and routing the communication session to the final destination via the GS based on the identified route. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the identified route is part of an enterprise network. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 18, wherein the enterprise network operates with a voice over the Internet protocol (VoIP).
