Mobile telephone network abstraction

Abstract

Aspects dynamically switch between different cellular service providers that use different ones of cellular signal encoding standards during a cellular call. A cellular phone call established from an end user device to another user on a first cellular service provider. In response to determining that the performance attributes of the first cellular service provider fail to meet the boundary values, while maintaining the established cellular phone call from the end user device to the other user without dropping the established call, or a connection of the end user to the established call, the call is automatically switched to a different (second) cellular service provider that has performance attributes meeting the boundary values and using a different cellular signal encoding standard relative to the first cellular service provider.
