Abstract

A system for interconnecting wired and wireless phone services in accordance with the present invention includes at least one of first wired terminals; public/private mobile communication terminals which are registered in public and private mobile communication networks; a private base station which constructs a wireless communication path with an arbitrary mobile communication terminal in its service area and manages wireless resources for the mobile communication; and a wired and wireless interconnecting apparatus which is connected to a public phone network and the private base station, constructs an internal network formed of the first wired terminals and the public/private mobile communication terminals to endow each of the terminals with a wired phone number, makes a call to a wired terminal in the case that there is a call to an arbitrary first wired terminal, and performs a switching function to simultaneously make a call to the public/private mobile communication terminal assigned to the first wired terminal. Therefore, a general wired subscriber is provided with the wired phone service and a service of portability through a wireless terminal, and the subscriber's accounting burden can be reduced.
