Abstract:
1. A wireless communication device (WCD) comprising: a processor; data storage; trigger logic stored in the data storage; re-routing logic stored in the data storage; wherein the trigger logic is executable by the processor (i) to detect, during set up of an incoming call to the WCD via a first wireless serving system with which the WCD is currently registered, that the incoming call can instead be set up to the WCD via a second wireless serving system, and (ii) to responsively offer a user of the WCD an option to have the incoming call re-routed to the WCD via the second wireless serving system instead of via the first wireless serving system, and (iii) to respond to user acceptance of the offer by invoking the re-routing logic, wherein the re-routing logic is executable by the processor (i) to signal to the first wireless serving system to forward the incoming call to a mediation server, and (ii) to register with the second wireless serving system, so as to facilitate receiving the incoming call from the mediation server via the second wireless serving system.
