SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOTE CONTROL OF A WIRELESS HANDSET

Systems and methods for remote control of a wireless communication device are provided. Remote access to a wireless communication device is obtained through a packet switched mobile terminated data call. The data call can also be originated from the wireless communication device. Authentication and validation procedures facilitate secure remote control access to the wireless communication device by one or more remote control access points. Once a remote control access session has been established, the remote control access point can execute commands on the wireless communication device, including initiating voice calls and scheduling future commands. Additionally, an audio-video teleconference can be initiated using streaming video and voice over IP.
