A system and method are described for providing least-cost call routing for mobile wireless devices having access to voice-over-IP (VoIP) infrastructure, such as may be operated by an enterprise having global presence. Using a local wireless connection, such as a wireless local area network (WLAN), a software agent on the mobile wireless device registers with a common, enterprise-wide registrar, which, in turn, informs a VoIP gateway in the device's home region of the device's new location. The home region VoIP gateway will then re-route incoming calls for the device to a VoIP gateway serving the region in which the device is currently located. The local VoIP gateway will then route the call to the device via the WLAN. Seamless routing occurs even when the wireless device obtains a local phone number in a foreign network. Outgoing calls from the device can be routed via the VoIP infrastructure or the foreign network based on availability of service and/or cost.

A technique is disclosed that changes one or more properties of a user interface at a telecommunications terminal based on an incoming call. When a first caller calls the telephone number of the terminal directly and the terminal answers the call, the terminal presents the direct call to the user through a first user interface. When a second caller calls a telephone number that is associated with a data-processing system and the call is then redirected to the terminal, the terminal presents the redirected call to the user through a second user interface. The telecommunications terminal can be a cell phone that belongs to a user, and the data-processing system can be a private branch exchange that serves an office enterprise network that the user belongs to, wherein the private branch exchange extends the call to the user's cell phone when the user is out of the office.

Methods and apparatus for improved monitoring and tracking of communications devices, e.g., peer to peer devices, using assistance from WAN elements such as base stations, are described. In some embodiments, a wireless terminal requests peer to peer communications discovery assistance from one or more base stations. In some embodiments, the request includes information identifying peer communications discovery information the wireless terminal is seeking to detect. In some embodiments, upon receiving the request, nearby base stations listen to the common discovery channel and upon detecting the specified discovery information, send a response indicating the detection of the discovery information and a proximate location of the announcing peer device, to the wireless terminal. The wireless terminal can use the received information to locate and page the announcing peer via the base station serving the announcing peer. Location tracking of peer devices is facilitated and peer-to-peer communication setup time may be reduced.
