Abstract: Methods and media are provided for offering telecommunications features to wireless devices through the use of a wireless exchange unit. The wireless exchange unit serves as an access point onto a larger wireless telecommunications network through use of a high-speed internet connection. The wireless exchange unit includes an access point base transceiver station (BTS) and an integrated application server. The integrated application server includes a session proxy, a home application server, and a voice application server. The wireless devices can access features such as, among other things, reduced-digit dialing, call rollover, and alternate message notification. For connections between devices local to the wireless exchange unit, the larger telecommunications network resources need not be utilized, therefore reducing congestion and improving performance.

Abstract: A system and associated methods deliver Caller ID information directed to a user's mobile phone onto the user's home television set for viewing. One particular method set forth involves selective providing to a video provider information regarding an incoming call destined for and based on the location of a designated mobile phone associated with a particular user, enabling the video provider to insert the information regarding the incoming call into a video stream for delivery to a video display device associated with the particular user. According to the method, a mobile switching center receives a call from a calling phone. Thereafter, a determination is made as to whether designated mobile phone is within a home zone for the particular user. If so, then the calling phone identification and the mobile phone destination number are sent to a video provider associated with the particular user for insertion into the video stream.
