dual-mode mobile phone. RoamFree® provides protocol translation
to offer full mobility between the networks. Features offered
to roaming subscribers include registration, call delvery,
call forwarding, multi-party calling, call waiting, and call
barring. RoamFree® supports open industry standard interfaces,
