Abstract: A cellular telephone (110) forms part of a wireless communication system (100) and has simultaneous communication of radio and cellular signals. The wireless communication system (100) has a base station (115) and one or more radios (120). The cellular telephone (110) has control circuitry (205), a cellular transceiver (215), a radio transceiver (210), a microphone (220), and a speaker (225). The simultaneous communication of radio and cellular signals permits a radio user to participate in a cellular phone call and permits a cellular telephone user to participate in the radio communication. Simultaneous communication is communication of cellular and radio signals at the same time and at substantially the same time.
