1. A telephone interface system, the system comprising:
two or more communication devices, said communication devices being at least one wired telephone device and at least one microprocessor-driven wireless telephone device;
one or more communications networks wherein said at least one microprocessor-driven wireless telephone device is in connection with said one or more communications networks; and
one or more interface device in communication with said at least one microprocessor-driven wireless telephone device and said at least one wired telephone device for processing incoming calls from said at least one microprocessor-driven wireless telephone device and processing outgoing calls from said at least one wired telephone device;
wherein said interface device further comprises a power supply, one or more processor for processing incoming and outgoing calls received from said at least one microprocessor-driven wireless telephone device, and an interface for connecting said one or more wired telephone device;
wherein said interface device allows for telephonic communication via said one or more wired telephone device through said at least one microprocessor-driven wireless telephone device in connection with said one or more communications networks; and
wherein said at least one processor of said interface device contains a non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions, that when executed, perform the method of:
monitoring incoming calls from said at least one microprocessor-driven wireless telephone device;
monitoring outgoing calls from said at least one wired telephone device;
wherein upon said interface device receiving an incoming call by said at least one microprocessor-driven wireless telephone device, said interface device answers said incoming call and prompts said incoming call to respond to at least one interactive prompt, said at least one interactive prompt being a voice prompt, a silent prompt, a numeric entry, a predetermined caller interaction, or combinations thereof;
wherein upon said incoming call providing an affirmative response to said interactive prompt from said interface device, said interface device connects said incoming call from said at least one microprocessor-driven wireless telephone device to said at least one wired telephone device via the interface device; and
wherein upon said incoming call providing an incorrect response to said interactive prompt, said interface device does not connect said incoming call from said at least one microprocessor-driven wireless telephone device to said at least one wired telephone device via the interface device.
