Distributed locater, alert, repeater, and/or call technologies for communication devices

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• receiving an alert distributed by a base device based on a message directed to a wireless communication device, wherein the base device receives a signal, from the wireless communication device via a service provider network device, that indicates the message is being directed to the wireless communication device, wherein the service provider network device facilitates communications in a first coverage area, and the apparatus is located in and facilitates communications in a second coverage area that is smaller in size than the first coverage area, and wherein the wireless communication device is associated with a communication coverage area that is within a first communication range of a base station device that is associated with the service provider network device and services a portion of the first coverage area comprising the communication coverage area, and is outside of a second communication range of an access point device that services the second coverage area and facilitates broadcast of the alert;
• and
• broadcasting the alert in response to receiving the alert, wherein the alert is customized based on input information that is received in connection with a subscription associated with the wireless communication device.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a base device comprising a processor, a first message from a wireless communication device via a network device associated with a service provider network, wherein the first message indicates that a communication is directed to the wireless communication device, wherein the network device facilitates communications in a first coverage area and the base device facilitates communications in a second coverage area that is smaller in size than the first coverage area, and wherein the wireless communication device is associated with a communication coverage area that is within a first communication range of a base station device that is associated with the service provider network and services a portion of the first coverage area comprising the communication coverage area, and is outside of a second communication range of an access point device that services the second coverage area and is associated with a remote device;
• and
• transmitting, by the base device, a second message directed to the remote device based on the first message, wherein the second message indicates an alert for broadcast by the remote device in relation to the first message, wherein the transmitting the second message comprises communicating with the access point device of the remote device via a wireless communication link, and wherein the alert is customized based on input information that is received in connection with a subscription associated with the wireless communication device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause an access point device comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:

• communicating with a base unit via a wireless communication connection,
• wherein the communicating includes receiving an alert by the access point device, the alert having been distributed from the base unit based on a message indicating a communication is directed to a wireless communication device,
• wherein the message is received by the base unit from the wireless communication device via a service provider network device configured to facilitate communications in a macro coverage area, wherein the access point device is configured to facilitate communications in another coverage area that is smaller in size than the macro coverage area, wherein the wireless communication device is associated with a communication coverage area that is within a first communication range of a base station device that is associated with the service provider network device and services a portion of the macro coverage area comprising the communication coverage area, wherein the communications coverage area is outside of a second communication range of the access point device associated with the other coverage area, and wherein the alert is customized based on input information that is received in connection with a subscription associated with the wireless communication device;
• and
• emitting a notification from the access point device based on the alert.
