The application is directed to a method and system for improving user experience with porting a telephone number to an electronic device. The method includes the steps of displaying a user interface on a display of the electronic device for initiating porting of a telephone number. Upon receiving user information via the user interface associated with the telephone number, it is determined whether the telephone number is portable. If the telephone number is portable, it is transmitted to the electronic device.

A method, system and graphical user interface (GUI) for a mobile device, the GUI including: (a) at least one multifunctional button having at least two activation states: (i) a first state, when actuated, providing a basic function, and (ii) a second state, when actuated, providing an advanced function; whereby each of the activation states is actuated by a different user action; and (b) a plurality of calling accounts, each of the plurality of calling account being logically associated with a subscriber identity module (SIM) card or a direct inward dial (DID) number; wherein the at least one multifunctional button is configured to facilitate selection of one of the plurality of calling accounts in order to perform a communication event.

The present invention discloses a communication method, a network device, user equipment, and a communications system. The communication method includes: determining, by a network device, to allocate a first secondary cell group to user equipment; and sending, by the network device, first configuration indication information to the user equipment, where the first configuration indication information is used to indicate at least one type of the following configuration: transmitting uplink control information related to a cell in the first secondary cell group by using a physical uplink control channel of a first cell, where the first cell belongs to a second secondary cell group of the user equipment; or processing data transmission on at least one cell in the first secondary cell group by using a layer 2 functional entity located in the second secondary cell group. The communication method disclosed in the present invention can reduce complexity of UE.

A method performed by, and a system embedded within, a communication device operating in a communication network, performing the steps of: obtaining a plurality of caller identification codes for the caller device, where each of the caller identification codes identifies the caller device in a network; obtaining at least one rule for selecting a caller identification code from the plurality of caller identification codes according to a characteristic of the called device; obtaining a characteristic of the called device; selecting a caller identification code from the plurality of caller identification codes according to the characteristic of the destination telephone identification, or caller environment or destination environment parameters, or caller decision on the time of making the call; and forwarding the selected caller identification code to any of another communication network and a terminal device of a communication network.

A method performed by, and a system embedded within, a communication device operating in a communication network, performing the steps of: obtaining a plurality of caller identification codes for the caller device, where each of the caller identification codes identifies the caller device in a network; obtaining at least one rule for selecting a caller identification code from the plurality of caller identification codes according to a characteristic of the called device; obtaining a characteristic of the called device; selecting a caller identification code from the plurality of caller identification codes according to the characteristic of the destination telephone identification, or caller environment or destination environment parameters, or caller decision on the time of making the call; and forwarding the selected caller identification code to any of another communication network and a terminal device of a communication network.

The subject of the present invention is a method for managing the reception of a telephone call signal on a communication terminal, with a view to the establishment of a telephone link, said telephone link being established by way of a server, said called communication terminal being able to receive the telephone call signal according to at least two modes, comprising a voice mode, in which the telephone link between the called communication terminal and the server is ensured by way of a telephone communication network, and a data mode, in which the telephone link between the called communication terminal and the server is ensured by way of a network for data communication according to a Voice over IP technology, said method comprising the direct selection, by the user of the method, of the mode of establishment of the telephone link. The method comprising the allocating by a call server of a temporary number to the calling communication terminal.

A cost-effective system and method of sending and receiving high quality phone calls over a low-cost network (e.g., a local area network, a WiFi network, etc.) with a wireless device, where such phone calls would typically have been delivered over a cellular network to the wireless device is provided herein. The system enables the wireless device to retain a phone number assigned by its home cellular network to send and receive calls, while still sending and receiving such calls over the low-cost network. The system also enables wireless devices to be authenticated with the home network of the wireless device for purposes other than sending and receiving high-quality phone calls.

The application is directed to a method and system for improving user experience with porting a telephone number to an electronic device. The method includes the steps of displaying a user interface on a display of the electronic device for initiating porting of a telephone number. Upon receiving user information via the user interface associated with the telephone number, it is determined whether the telephone number is portable. If the telephone number is portable, it is transmitted to the electronic device.

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide for receiving a request to provision a trial service to a user device, wherein the trial service includes providing a premium service to the user device during a trial time period; identifying a class of service provided to the user device, wherein the request is denied when the premium service is provided to the user device; determining whether the user device is eligible to receive the premium service; determining, when the user device is eligible to receive the premium service, whether the user device is eligible to receive the trial service; and provisioning, based on determining that the user device is eligible to receive the trial service, the trial service to the user device.

A request to provision a trial service to a user device is received, and the trial service relates to offering a service to the user device during a trial time period. The request is confirmed as originating from the user device by forwarding a confirmation code to the user device, and receiving the confirmation code from the user device. Data regarding the user device is obtained and used to determine whether the user device is eligible to receive the trial service. For example, eligibility of the user device to receive the trial service may be determined based on a service provided to the user device before the request is received, and based on whether the user device has previously received the trial service during a particular time period. When the user device is eligible to receive the trial service, the trial service is provisioned to the user device.
