The invention provides for establishing a communication link between the communication unit and the second communication entity while maintaining a communication link between the communication unit and the first communication entitiy. Then, communications are substantially simultaneously transfered to the second communication entity while terminated from the first communication entity.Field of SearchAt switching facility (e.g., central office, switchboard) | |
