According to one method, a call is established between a first mode of a calling device and a call device. An indication is received to jump the call to a second mode of the calling device. In response to the indication, the call is jumped to a second mode of the calling device such that the call continues between the second mode of the calling device and the called device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for jumping a call between modes of a same device, the method comprising: at a voice over IP application server: (a) establishing a call between a first mode of a calling device and a called device; (b) receiving an indication to jump the call to a second mode of the calling device; and (c) in response to the indication, jumping the call to the second mode of the calling device such that the call continues between the second mode of the calling device and the called device, wherein the second mode of the calling device functions as a remote phone for the calling device to allow access to features provided to the first mode of the calling device, wherein functioning as a remote phone includes providing at least one service feature associated with the first mode to the calling device when the calling device is communicating via the second mode and not simultaneously communicating via the first mode such that the second mode of the calling device can access the at least one service feature of the first mode of the calling device without the calling device simultaneously communicating via the first mode. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the first mode comprises a cellular mode and the second mode comprises a Wi-Fi mode. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the first mode comprises a Wi-Fi mode and the second mode comprises a cellular mode. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein receiving an indication includes receiving predetermined dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) digits from the calling device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein receiving an indication includes automatically receiving an indication from the second mode of the calling device. ### Claim 6 A system for jumping a call between modes of a same device, the system comprising: a voice over IP application server including: (a) a line component for receiving an indication to jump an in-progress call from a first mode of a calling device to a second mode of the calling device; (b) a jump manager for, in response to the indication, for jumping the call to the second mode of the calling device such that the call continues between the second mode of the calling device and a called device; and (c) a remote phone manager for provisioning the second mode of the calling device as a remote phone for the first mode, wherein provisioning as a remote device includes providing at least one service feature associated with the first mode to the calling device when the calling device is communicating via the second mode and not simultaneously communicating via the first mode such that the second mode of the calling device can access the at least one service feature of the first mode of the calling device without the calling device simultaneously communicating via the first mode. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6 wherein the first mode comprises a cellular mode and the second mode comprises a Wi-Fi mode. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6 wherein the first mode comprises a Wi-Fi mode and the second mode comprises a cellular mode. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6 wherein the indication includes predetermined dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) digits received from a user of the calling device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6 wherein the indication includes an indication that is automatically generated by the calling device. ### Claim 11 A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a computer program for jumping a call between different modes of a same device, the computer program including instructions, when executed by a processor/computer, for performing steps comprising: at a voice over IP application server: (a) establishing a call between a first mode of a calling device and a called device; (b) receiving an indication to jump the call to a second mode of the calling device; and (c) in response to the indication, jumping the call to the second mode of the calling device such that the call continues between the second mode of the calling device and the called device, wherein the second mode of the calling device functions as a remote phone for the calling device to allow access to features provided to the first mode of the calling device, wherein functioning as a remote phone includes providing at least one service feature associated with the first mode to the calling device when the calling device is communicating via the second mode and not simultaneously communicating via the first mode such that the second mode of the calling device can access the at least one service feature of the first mode of the calling device without the calling device simultaneously communicating via the first mode.
