A system for establishing different connection types of radio communication, the system comprising:
- a first radio configured to:
- establish a first connection with a second radio, wherein the first radio transmits and receives directly with the second radio using a multiple access protocol before communicating using a base station;
- associate a phone number with the second radio;
- detect, after establishing the first connection, that the first connection has been lost;
- and
- initiate a call, using the phone number, in response to detecting that the first connection is lost;
- and
- the second radio configured to establish a second connection with the first radio by receiving the call from the first radio, wherein the second connection uses the base station.
