An automatic service selection feature in a local cordless services architecture. The local cordless services architecture is configured such that a mobile telephone equipped subscriber may place or receive calls for a fixed rate, for example, per month without having to pay radio frequency air time charges any time they are located within their selected subscribed-to zones. If the subscribed-to zones are adjacent to one another and the mobile subscriber roams from one zone to another, the subscriber may continue their free call uninterrupted and without paying air time charges. However, when the subscriber roams outside their subscribed-to zones they may be switched from the present local cordless services to conventional personal communications services and pay air time charges. However for an active call, no air-time charges are incurred as the user transitions between the cellular/DPCS environment and the local cordless service environment. The automatic service selection feature allows a subscriber to the local cordless services to have automatic access to other different services offered by, e.g., a macro-cellular wireless network such as a PCS and/or DPCS wireless network.
