A wireless device uses position-indicating data to determine its location in relation to multi-layered wireless networks that the device may see concurrently. If location information is available, the device employs a user-defined priority table to select the order of user-contracted available networks. If location information is unavailable, the device employs a technology learning table to automatically adapt CAI protocol options (e.g., GSM, cdma2000, IS-136, IEEE 802.11x, etc.) to search for an available network. Information is gathered and stored in databases within the device to allow automatic adaptation to multiple wireless networks. The device provides unique access to each wireless network with which a user has contracted, without the intervention of any “anchor” network. This allows the device to obtain network service no matter what network it is traveling through and allows the user to traverse multiple wireless networks with seamless access to multiple applications and services provided by those networks.

An emergency call (e.g., a 911 call, an alarm company call) forwarded by a telematics call center is routed over the switched PSTN to a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call server, where the switched call is converted to a session initiating protocol (SIP) packetized IP call for presentation to an emergency services gateway, which reconverts the call to TDM and connects to a selective router via dedicated circuits, gaining full access to the Enhanced 911 network. This provides a PSAP receiving a call from a telematics call center or other call center with all features available in an Enhanced 911 network, e.g., callback number of the 911 caller, and location of the 911 caller. Location of the caller is provided using a VoIP positioning center (VPC).

In a portable telephone, a sensor constructed of, for example, a 3-axial acceleration sensor is built in the vicinity of a display unit which is provided on a main body of the portable telephone.
