Abstract
A public telecommunications device () configured to detect a channel connection-initiation signal () from a wireless communications device () which is paired with the public telecommunications device and render a prompt () in response. The public telecommunications device will fully establish a wireless channel connection () with the wireless communications device only if the public telecommunications device detects a designated user input in response to the prompt (). If the public telecommunications device detects that a call () of the wireless communications device has ended, the wireless channel connection will be promptly terminated, unless a second designated user input is detected at the public telecommunications device. The risk of accidental or unintended connectivity to the public telecommunications device is thus minimized.
