Switching and/or routing capabilities in mobile handset may enable wireless devices to communicate with each other and/or with a wireless network via the mobile handset. The mobile handset operates as a base station for wireless devices within a personal area or piconet. For voice communication, for example, communication between a wireless device within the piconet and a cellular network or a voice-over-IP (VoIP) network may be established via the mobile handset. The selection between the cellular or VoIP network may be based on rate price and/or on features available in each of the networks, for example.
