Abstract
A method and system to provide GSM subscribers roaming into CDMA or TDMA networks, and CDMA or TDMA subscribers roaming into GSM networks, with basic call delivery wireless services as long as the roamers can pay the bill with their valid credit card, and to do so independently of and as a bypass of GSM Memorandum of Understandings for cellular/PCS services. This is achieved by integrating the proper pieces of wireless and wireline networks and secure communications, using IP networks and protocols as an alternative to the existing telephony-based approach.
