Abstract
The present invention allows incoming calls intended for a mobile terminal, which is capable of supporting both local wireless and cellular communications, to be selectively routed to the mobile terminal via local wireless access in a controlled and efficient manner. In particular, the incoming call to the mobile terminal may be intended to be routed to the mobile terminal via cellular access. Upon receipt of the incoming call, a wireless office may operate to forward the call toward a service node along with redirection information. The service node will use the redirection information to determine how to process the incoming call.
