A system and method is provided for using location information associated with wireless devices. The system includes a wireless device, a location system, and a feature server. The wireless device includes any wireless apparatus having wireless communications capabilities. The location system can generate location information pinpointing the location of the wireless device. The feature server can use the location information to determine whether to execute an action in accordance with subscriber rules. A large number of applications may be implemented to execute the action via a number of communication channels, including without limitation, a wireless communications network, a computer network, and a public switched telephone system, for example.

1. A method comprising: activating, by a wireless communication device, a location system of the wireless communication device in accordance with a rule to determine a geographical location of the wireless communication device, the rule comprising a time at which to activate the location system and
1. A method comprising: activating, by a wireless communication device, a location system of the wireless communication device in accordance with a rule to determine a geographical location of the wireless communication device, the rule comprising a time at which to activate the location system and a location at which the wireless communication device is to transmit a signal to a remote appliance to control an operation of the remote appliance;determining, by the wireless communication device, whether the geographical location matches the location at which the wireless communication device is to transmit the signal to the remote appliance to control the operation of the remote appliance; andtransmitting, by the wireless communication device, the signal to the remote appliance to control the operation of the remote appliance responsive to determining that the geographical location matches the location. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the remote appliance comprises a home appliance operating at a home of a user that defined the rule. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the rule comprises a network preference that identifies a network over which to transmit the signal to the remote appliance to control the operation of the remote appliance, and wherein transmitting, by the wireless communication device, the signal to the remote appliance to control the operation of the remote appliance comprises transmitting, by the wireless communication device, the signal to the remote appliance via the network identified in the network preference. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein transmitting, by the wireless communication device, the signal to the remote appliance to control the operation of the remote appliance comprises transmitting, by the wireless communication device, the signal to the remote appliance via, at least in part, a computer network with which the remote appliance is in communication. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the computer network comprises a local area network. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein the computer network comprises a global computer network. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the geographical location comprises an altitude of the wireless communication device. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the time at which to activate the location system relates to an estimated time of arrival of the wireless communication device at a destination. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the destination comprises a home of a user that defined the rule. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein the destination comprises an office of a user that defined the rule. 11. A wireless communication device comprising: a location system;a feature server; anda memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the feature server, cause the feature server to perform operations comprisingactivating the location system in accordance with a rule to determine a geographical location of the wireless communication device, the rule comprising a time at which to activate the location system and a location at which the wireless communication device is to transmit a signal to a remote appliance to control an operation of the remote appliance,determining whether the geographical location matches the location at which the wireless communication device is to transmit the signal to the remote appliance to control the operation of the remote appliance, andcausing the signal to be transmitted to the remote appliance to control the operation of the remote appliance responsive to determining that the geographical location matches the location. 12. The wireless communication device of claim 11, wherein the time at which to activate the location system relates to an estimated time of arrival of the wireless communication device at a destination. 13. A tangible computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a wireless communication device, cause the wireless communication device to perform operations comprising: activating a location system of the wireless communication device in accordance with a rule to determine a geographical location of the wireless communication device, the rule comprising a time at which to activate the location system and a location at which the wireless communication device is to transmit a signal to a remote appliance to control an operation of the remote appliance;determining whether the geographical location matches the location at which the wireless communication device is to transmit the signal to the remote appliance to control the operation of the remote appliance; andtransmitting the signal to the remote appliance to control the operation of the remote appliance responsive to determining that the geographical location matches the location at which the wireless communication device is to control the operation of the remote appliance in accordance with the rule. 14. The tangible computer-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the time at which to activate the location system relates to an estimated time of arrival of the wireless communication device at a destination. 15. The wireless communication device of claim 12, wherein the destination comprises a home of a user that defined the rule. 16. The tangible computer-readable medium of claim 14, the destination comprises a home of a user that defined the rule. 17. The wireless communication device of claim 11, wherein the rule comprises a network preference that identifies a network over which to transmit the signal to the remote appliance to control the operation of the remote appliance, and wherein transmitting the signal to the remote appliance to control the operation of the remote appliance comprises transmitting the signal to the remote appliance via the network identified in the network preference. 18. The wireless communication device of claim 11, wherein transmitting the signal to the remote appliance to control the operation of the remote machine comprises transmitting the signal to the remote appliance via, at least in part, a computer network with which the remote appliance is in communication. 19. The wireless communication device of claim 18, wherein the computer network comprises a local area network. 20. The wireless communication device of claim 18, wherein the computer network comprises a global computer network.
