Controlling a delivery of voice communications over a cellular data network or a wireless network based on user's profile

A computer program product for controlling a delivery of voice communications, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code comprising the programming instructions for:

• creating a profile of a first user specifying requirements for switching between a cellular data network and a wireless network;
• initiating or receiving a telephone call by said first user of a mobile device using cellular radio over said cellular data network;
• monitoring a signal strength of a cellular radio signal received by said mobile device over said cellular data network;
• detecting one or more wireless networks in response to said signal strength of said cellular radio signal being less than a first threshold;
• checking said profile of said first user of said mobile device to determine if authorized to switch to one of said one or more detected wireless networks to deliver voice communications in response to said signal strength of said cellular radio signal being less than said first threshold;
• and
• switching to deliver voice communications using voice over Internet protocol over said one of said one or more detected wireless networks or displaying a notification to said first user of said mobile device with an option to switch to deliver voice communications using voice over Internet protocol over said one of said one or more detected wireless networks in response to being authorized to switch to said one of said one or more detected wireless networks to deliver voice communications.

A system, comprising:

• a memory unit for storing a computer program for controlling a delivery of voice communications;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory unit, wherein the processor is configured to execute the program instructions of the computer program comprising:
• creating a profile of a first user specifying requirements for switching between a cellular data network and a wireless network;
• initiating or receiving a telephone call by said first user of a mobile device using cellular radio over said cellular data network;
• monitoring a signal strength of a cellular radio signal received by said mobile device over said cellular data network;
• detecting one or more wireless networks in response to said signal strength of said cellular radio signal being less than a first threshold;
• checking said profile of said first user of said mobile device to determine if authorized to switch to one of said one or more detected wireless networks to deliver voice communications in response to said signal strength of said cellular radio signal being less than said first threshold;
• and
• switching to deliver voice communications using voice over Internet protocol over said one of said one or more detected wireless networks or displaying a notification to said first user of said mobile device with an option to switch to deliver voice communications using voice over Internet protocol over said one of said one or more detected wireless networks in response to being authorized to switch to said one of said one or more detected wireless networks to deliver voice communications.
