Abstract: The priority incoming call alerting system for a wireless communication system functions to automatically identify the subscriber's need for privacy in terms of the present location of a wireless subscriber or the subscriber's manually indicated preference, and process incoming calls as a function of this desired privacy and the priority of the incoming call. This is accomplished by providing a wireless communication system with a priority incoming call alerting system that includes call priority identification apparatus and optionally subscriber location identifying apparatus to thereby enable the wireless communication system to automatically screen incoming calls that are directed to the wireless subscriber and only alert the subscriber of the presence of a priority incoming call from a calling party, yet routes all non-priority calls to a call coverage point.

Abstract: Providing by a wireless terminal the sole communication link to a wireless telecommunication switching system, and inserting the wireless terminal into an auxiliary desktop unit to provide the full functional capabilities of a business telecommunication terminal. The result is that a user has one telephone number for the wireless terminal, and yet, when the wireless terminal is inserted into the auxiliary unit, the user is provided the full capabilities of a modern business telecommunication wired terminal. Also, no wired telephone links must be installed since the wireless terminal communicates solely over a wireless media.
