A method for connecting a telephone call between a first phone which is not directly connected to a telephone network and a second phone which is connected to the telephone network through an intermediary computing device, comprising:

• storing a telephone number associated with the second phone;
• programming a button on the first phone to send a request to the stored telephone number;
• initiating a telephone call from the first phone through the intermediary computing device in response to the programmed button on the first phone being triggered, wherein the request from the first phone is sent to the intermediary computing device using a wireless local area network (LAN) protocol;
• re-routing the telephone call through the intermediary computing device to the second phone using the telephone network, wherein data transmitted to and from the second phone and the intermediary computing device is transmitted through the telephone network and data to and from the intermediary computing device and the first phone is transmitted through a wireless LAN;
• and
• transmitting from a docking station holding the first phone in a docked state, a signal through an Internet connection to a remote module indicating the first phone is docked.

A computer program product for connecting a telephone call between a first phone which is not directly connected to a telephone network and a second phone which is connected to the telephone network through an intermediary computing device, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code being configured, when executed by a computer processor, to:

• store a telephone number associated with the second phone;
• program a button on the first phone to send a request to the stored telephone number;
• initiate a telephone call from the first phone through the intermediary computing device in response to the programmed button on the first phone being triggered, wherein the request from the first phone is sent to the intermediary computing device using a wireless local area network (LAN) protocol;
• re-route the telephone call through the intermediary computing device to the second phone using the telephone network, wherein data transmitted to and from the second phone and the intermediary computing device is transmitted through the telephone network and data to and from the intermediary computing device and the first phone is transmitted through a wireless LAN;
• determine whether a call recipient associated with the second phone is an authorized contact;
• and
• determine whether a stored rule prohibits contact by the first phone with the second phone at time associated with the telephone call.
