Routing wireless communications

A method for routing communications by a host system to a wireless subscriber, the method comprising:

• receiving from a user's communication device a valid routing request data and a destination telephone number of a wireless communication device of a wireless subscriber;
• authenticating a wireless subscriber's account as a valid subscriber's account based on the received destination telephone number and predetermined authentication criteria, and if the wireless subscriber's account is valid:
• resolving the valid routing request data to a predetermined wire-based medium;
• and
• establishing communication between the user's communication device and the subscriber's wireless communication device via the predetermined wire-based medium.

A method for establishing conference call communication between a wireless subscriber and a plurality of users' communication devices, the method comprising:

• receiving from a wireless communication device of a wireless subscriber a valid routing request data for establishing conference call communication;
• and
• authenticating a wireless subscriber's account information as a valid subscriber account based on predetermined authentication criteria, and if the account information is valid:
• resolving the valid routing request data to a predetermined wire-based conference bridge;
• receiving from each of the plurality of users' communication devices an access request data for accessing the wireless subscriber's conference bridge;
• authenticating each user's access request data, and if the access request data is valid:
• establishing for each authenticated user the conference call communication between each users' communication device and the wireless communication device of the wireless subscriber via the conference bridge.

A method for routing communications by a recipient host system to a wireless subscriber, the method comprising:

• receiving from a wireless communication device of a wireless subscriber a valid routing request data;
• and
• authenticating a wireless subscriber's account information as a valid subscriber account based on predetermined authentication criteria, and if the account information is valid:
• determining if the wireless subscriber is local to the recipient host system based on predetermined locating criteria, and if the wireless subscriber is not local to the recipient host system:
• initiating a forwarding of calls intended for the wireless subscriber from a host system local to the wireless subscriber to the recipient host system wherein the forwarded calls are re-routed via a predetermined wire-based medium.

A host system for routing wireless communications, the host system comprising:

• a receiver subsystem in communication with a wireless communication device of a wireless subscriber and adapted to receive from the wireless communication device a valid routing request data and a destination telephone number of a destination communication device;
• an authentication subsystem adapted to authenticate a wireless subscriber's account information as a valid subscriber account based on predetermined authentication criteria;
• a resolution subsystem adapted to resolve the valid routing request data to a predetermined wire-based medium if the account information is valid;
• and
• a routing application residing in the host system and adapted to establish communication between the subscriber's wireless communication device and the destination communication device via the predetermined wire-based medium based on the destination telephone number.
