Abstract
A telephone system includes at least one mobile station for communicating with a wireless cellular phone network at a private base station that registers a mobile station and enables communication of a mobile station with a land-line telephone network through the private base station. The private base station is responsive to pre-determined signaling codes received from a registered mobile station for switching the communication of the private base station into the wireless cellular phone network. The private base station includes a memory for storing calling numbers received from a landline network. A dialer generates calls to a stored calling number through the wireless cellular network upon receipt of a pre-determined signal generated by a registered mobile station.
