Seamless handoff and call binding

A system for third party eavesdropping to voice communications of a target wireless electronic device and for handoff of the target wireless electronic device from a private network system to a public network while consciously eavesdropping to said communications without interrupting said communications during said handoff, the system comprising:

• a private network system adapted to intercept communications of a target wireless device and to forward the intercepted communications to a public network;
• a processor;
• a memory holding instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• activate said private network system to eavesdrop on communications occurring on said target wireless electronic device by impersonating said target wireless electronic device;
• and
• while communication occurs on said target wireless electronic device and while eavesdropping said communication, induce a handover of said target wireless electronic device from said private network system to a public network cell of said public network, and follow said handover to continue eavesdropping on said communication by said private network system;
• wherein the inducing of the handover comprises:
• instructing said target wireless electronic device, by the private network system, to obtain measurements of public network cells present in the vicinity of said target wireless electronic device;
• instructing said target wireless electronic device, by the private network system, to report said measurements back to said private network system;
• and
• falsely reporting, by the private network system to said public network, that an initial network cell serving said target wireless electronic device has a poor signal quality, wherein said false report causes the public network to send a handover command to the private network system.
