Abstract:
1. A system, comprising: a memory to store executable instructions; and a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the executable instructions to perform operations, comprising: detecting whether a dual mode wireless device is located within an 802.11 wireless coverage area of an 802.11 network utilizing a global system for mobile communications wireless interface; in response to detecting that the dual mode wireless device is located within the 802.11 wireless coverage area, sending, via a plain old telephone system interface, a session initiation protocol message directed to a voice-over-internet protocol system for initiating power up of an 802.11 transceiver of the dual mode wireless device, wherein the voice-over-internet protocol system is coupled to a network device of a global system for mobile communications network; in response to receiving a communication from the voice-over-internet protocol system based on the session initiation protocol message, initiating the power up of the 802.11 transceiver; in response to the initiating of the power up of the 802.11 transceiver, receiving, from the dual mode wireless device via an 802.11 based wireless communication, information associated with a subscription of a voice-over-internet protocol service associated with the voice-over internet protocol system, based on another communication that has been registered with an internet protocol multimedia system service device by the voice-over internet protocol system, forwarded from the voice-over internet protocol system to an access point device of the 802.11 network, and routed between the voice-over internet protocol system and a home public land mobile network device.
