  • Method and system for call forwarding between a wireless switching apparatus and a fixed telephony network using a virtual number
    Patent number: 7756514
    Abstract: A method and a related system for forwarding a telephone call from a caller intended to be directed to a first, fixed, telephony number to a second, mobile, telephone number in order to render an intended responder associated with the mobile telephony number reachable at a mobile phone instead that at a fixed telephone. The method includes having the caller place a call to a virtual mobile telephony number associated with the fixed telephony number; conditioned to the fact that call forwarding from the fixed telephony number to the mobile telephony number is enabled, routing the call to the mobile telephony number; and, if the responder accepts, terminating the call from the caller at the mobile telephony number of the responder instead of at the fixed telephony number, so as to establish a direct telephone call between the caller and the responder. This direct telephone call is viewed by the caller as a call to a mobile telephony number, and, in particular, the caller sustains the cost of the call.
