The claimed invention consists of integrating a wireless client with a network adapter in a single device which allows a telephone to connect to a network access point for the purpose of establishing Voice-over-IP (VoIP) calls. The user can attach his telephone to the network adapter and place it anywhere within range of a wireless network and not be required to connect to a wired network via a cable. This allows the end user to place the network adapter and phone in a place without the restrictions of wires. Also, the network adapter could be used to transmit voice data over a broadband link and to transmit emergency calls over a cellular network. In a further embodiment of the invention, various elements of the emergency call re-routing functionality may be placed at various points in a telephone system, for example, in a telephone, a specialized adapter or a conventional personal computer.
