Methods, apparatuses, and articles of manufacture for determining, by a first communication device communicatively coupled with a second communication device by a first communication connection of a first communication network, whether to establish a second communication connection of a second communication network to the second communication device, are described herein. In some embodiments, the first and second communication networks may be different communication networks, and the determining may be based on a comparison of a first communication network signal strength to a threshold or on one or more user preferences of a user of the first communication device. Further, in various embodiments, the first communication device may establish the second communication connection to the second communication device, if it is determined that the second communication connection should be established, while the first communication device remains communicatively coupled with the second communication device via the first communication connection.
