System and method for cell phone to cell phone signal transmission via the internet

A telephone system for transmitting telephone signals between first and second mobile stations, said system comprising:

• a first internet protocol interface with echo cancellation for adjusting for time lag or time delays due to cell phone signal distortions caused by multiple different internet pathways for said telephone signals, said first internet protocol interface configured to receive incoming cell phone signals generated by the first mobile station from a first cell tower having a first cell tower echo canceller for the adjusting for time lag or the time delays caused by physical obstructions, and to transmit said cell phone signals to the internet for delivery to the second mobile station,
• wherein said first and second mobile stations have internal echo cancellation modules, such that users of the first and second mobile stations can engage in a conversation where said cell phone signals are communicated over substantial distances through the internet through at least first echo cancelled internet protocol interface, wherein said first echo cancelled internet protocol interface and said first and second mobile stations, are configured to correct distortions in said cell phone signals not corrected by said first cell tower echo canceller, caused by the travel of said cell phone signals by internet delays.
