Claim:
A method for handing over an active call between a first call device and a second call device comprising the steps of: defining a set of target hand-over devices with a mobility server; automatically detecting call hand-over threshold for said first call device, automatically initiating hand-overs responsive to detecting said threshold and monitoring said first call device for on-demand hand-over overrides, wherein at least one of said first call device and said set of target hand-over devices supports wireless local area network (WLAN) communications and said on-demand hand-over overrides include halting automatic hand-overs and forcing hand-overs; selecting said second call device from the previously defined said set of target hand-over devices responsive to automatic detection of said call hand-over threshold, wherein selection of said second call device is manually selectable from said first device; and establishing a connection to said second call device upon acceptance of said call by said second call device.
