Abstract
A communication system method allows a voice-over-IP (VoIP) packet data connection to be established by sending a subscriber address to a remote database server. The database server converts the subscriber address to an Internet address and informs the wireless handset of an active Internet address to be used to complete the call. In some embodiments the subscriber address is a telephone number that can also be used to reach the subscriber using the public switched telephone network. Other types of media are also supported like digital pictures, digital video, chat sessions, and application sharing sessions.
