A wireless communication unit (101) is operable to reformat dialed numbers according to dialing plans for a plurality of communication networks (103, 107, 109), where the unit comprises a transceiver (201) for communicating with any of the plurality of communication networks; a user interface (211) operable to provide a number corresponding to a target unit (102, 102') to be called; and a controller (209) implementing a corresponding method to provide a reformatted number (FIG. 3) corresponding to the number and according to a preference that is specific to the wireless communication unit, where the reformatted number is compatible with a dialing plan for a communication network that will be used to place a call to the target unit. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT In overview, the present disclosure concerns communication systems or networks and communication units that are operable on more than one communication network and more particularly wireless communication units or devices operable on multiple networks when these communication networks have differing caller identification formats.
The principles discussed are applicable to many communication systems or networks and communication units, including those units operable on different networks with different caller identification formats or dialing plans, such as when one network is a public wireless carrier or wireless wide area network (WAN), such as a cellular service carrier, and the other network is a private communication system as supported, for example, on a corporation's enterprise wireless local area network (LAN).
As further discussed below various inventive principles and combinations thereof are advantageously employed to ensure that a communication unit capable of providing a user with service on multiple communication networks correctly formats numbers corresponding to a target unit, such as a dialed number or number from a phone book, so that valid call addressing or routing is achieved when making calls while moving between or operating on such communication networks, provided these principles or equivalents thereof are utilized.
Note that the term communications unit may be used interchangeably herein with wireless subscriber device, subscriber device or subscriber unit, and each of these terms denotes a device ordinarily associated with a user.
Examples of such units include personal digital assistants, personal assignment pads, personal computers equipped for wireless operation, cellular handsets or devices, or equivalents thereof.
The communications units that are of particular interest are multi mode units capable of providing or facilitating both short range communications capabilities, normally referred to as wireless LAN capabilities, via wireless LANs using for example protocols such as IEEE 802
