  • Publication number: 20050009521
    Abstract: A method for obtaining service when in a no-coverage area of a radiotelephone communication system includes a first step of storing information regarding a last known available communication system. This can be accomplished through the communication system when loss of service is imminent or through independent means after service is lost. A next step includes reporting the information about the last known available communication system to a user of the radiotelephone. A next step includes using the information to obtain service from the last known available communication system. For example, a user could use timing information to backtrack their steps or use location information to obtain service.
