A mobile station communicates with both a cellular network, by which it is assigned a mobile identification number, and to a cordless cellular base station utilizing the same cellular frequency range and communications protocol. The cordless cellular base station is preferably connected to a public switched telephone network and is assigned a landline number. The cordless cellular base station acts as a conduit between the mobile station and the public switched telephone network. When the mobile station comes within range of a cordless cellular base station, it deregisters automatically from the cellular network and register with the cordless cellular base station. Once the mobile station is communicating with the cordless cellular base station, the cordless cellular base station communicates with the cellular network to instruct the cellular network to route all calls for mobile identification number to the cordless cellular base station\s landline number. In addition, all calls placed on the mobile station are sent through the cordless cellular base station to the public switched telephone network. When the mobile station severs contact with the cordless cellular base station, the mobile station registers with the regional cellular base station of the regional cellular network. The cordless cellular base station then sends a network forwarding cancellation message to the cellular network to cancel the forwarding of calls for the mobile station\s identification number. Once the mobile station is registered with the regional cell, calls to the mobile stations identification number are directly routed by the cellular network to the mobile station.

A base station, comprising: standard telephone interface hardware in communication with a PSTN line wherein said hardware receives a first communication signal from said PSTN line and converts said first communication signal to a first voice signal; a receiver establishing a plurality of receive channels, wherein a first receive channel is assigned to receive a first digital communication signal from a first wireless remote station and a second receive channel is assigned to receive a second digital communication signal from a second wireless remote station; a first converter in communication with said receiver wherein said first converter decodes said first digital signal to form a second voice signal and decodes said second digital signal to form a third voice signal; a first summer which combines said first and second voice signals to form a first composite voice signal; a second summer which combines said first and third voice signals to form a second composite voice signal; a third summer which combines said second and third voice signals to form a third composite voice signal; a second converter in communication with said first and second summers, wherein said second converter encodes said first composite voice signal to form a first composite encoded signal and encodes said second composite voice signal to form a second composite encoded signal; a transmitter establishing a plurality of transmit channels, said transmitter adapted to transmit the first encoded composite signal to said second wireless remote station in a first transmit channel and to transmit said second encoded composite signal to said first wireless remote station in a second transmit channel; and wherein said standard telephone interface hardware is in communication with said third summer and said PSTN line to convert said third composite voice signal to a second communication signal for transmission to said PSTN line.
