Abstract
A wireless communication unit (), network switch () and corresponding methods facilitate retrieval, routing, and management of on-hold calls (FIG.-FIG.) within a first communication network () when the unit is operating in a second communication network () that is loosely coupled to the first. The communication unit comprises a transceiver () configured to support an air interface with the first and the second communication network; and a controller () arranged to cooperatively operate with the transceiver to retrieve an on-hold call from the first network via a call leg established to support a handout to and while the unit is operating in the second network. A user interface () and in band signaling over the call leg facilitates management, connecting, disconnecting, etc., of the on-hold calls by the communication unit.
