Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9811710A1] This invention provides a public telephone system including a plurality of public telephone base stations (10), each being connected to a telephone network (12), and a multiplicity of cordless telephones (20), each being capable of communicating with the telephone network (12) via any one of the plurality of base stations (10) which is within a range of distances which enables such communication to occur in a wireless manner. The system and its method of operation are characterized in that the cordless telephone (20) need not identify itself to the telephone network (12) and the telephone network (12) need not participate in billing, other than by debiting a payment facility associated with the cordless telephone (20). The communication between the base station and the cordless telephone (20) may avoid use of frequencies and transmission power levels which require licensing.
