Method and system for providing access to a telecommunications network
View Patent ↗A system and a method for connecting a call through a telecommunications network. A base station, connected to a public switched telephone network, includes a call processor, a memory and a transceiver. The memory includes a database containing dialing instructions for a wireless station for a telephone connection through the public switched telephone network to a destination station. The transceiver receives a call request from the wireless station, and the call processor in response to the call request, accesses the database and dials a call for connection through the public switched telephone network to the destination station based on the dialing instructions for the wireless station.
1. A method for delivering a message to a destination station from a wireless station comprising the steps of:
receiving at a call processor at a base station unique station identification data for a destination station from said wireless station;
receiving and storing at the call processor a message from said wireless station for delivery to said destination station, the call processor performing digital processing;
accessing a database containing dialing instructions for the wireless station for connecting to the destination station through a predetermined connection path through a public switched telephone network;
receiving a hang up indication from said wireless station before a connection to the destination station is established; and
delivering said message to said destination station once the connection is established via the predetermined connection path through the public switched telephone network.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the message comprises a voice message.
3. The method of claim 2 further comprising storing the voice message prior to the call processor accessing the database.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the base station reproduces recorded voice signals for the destination station from the message stored at the call processor.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the predetermined connection path is maintained after receiving the hang up indication.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the predetermined connection path is shared by a plurality of different users.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein time periods are scheduled for each user of the plurality of different users.
8. A method for delivering a voice message to a destination station from a wireless station comprising the steps of:
receiving at a call processor at a base station unique station identification data for a destination station from said wireless station;
receiving and storing at the call processor a voice message from said wireless station for delivery to said destination station;
accessing a database containing dialing instructions for the wireless station for connecting to the destination station through a predetermined connection path through a public switched telephone network;
receiving a hang up indication from said wireless station before a connection to the destination station is established; and
delivering said voice message to said destination station once the connection is established.
9. The method of claim 8 wherein the base station reproduces recorded voice signals for the destination station from the message stored at the call processor.
10. The method of claim 8 wherein the predetermined connection path is maintained after receiving the hang up indication.
11. The method of claim 8 wherein the predetermined connection path is shared by a plurality of different users.
12. The method of claim 8 further comprising storing the voice message prior to the call processor accessing the database.
13. A base station connected to a public switched telephone network, the base station comprising:
a receiver for receiving at a call processor at the base station unique station identification data for a destination station from a wireless station and a message from the wireless station for delivery to the destination station;
a memory for storing the message from said wireless station for delivery to the destination station;
a database containing dialing instructions for the wireless station for connecting to the destination station through a predetermined connection path through a public switched telephone network;
an input for receiving a hang up indication from the wireless station before a connection to the destination station is established; and
an output for delivering the message to the destination station once the connection is established.
14. The base station according to claim 13 , wherein the connection established for the call is a connection that is time-shared with other wireless stations.
15. The base station of claim 13 wherein the message comprises a voice message.
16. The base station of claim 15 wherein the voice message is stored prior to the call processor accessing the database.
17. The base station of claim 13 wherein the base station reproduces recorded voice signals for the destination station from the message stored at the call processor.
18. The base station of claim 13 wherein the predetermined connection path is maintained after receiving the hang up indication.
19. The base station of claim 13 wherein the predetermined connection path is shared by a plurality of different users.
20. The base station of claim 19 wherein time periods are scheduled for each user of the plurality of different users.
