Methods for sharing service identity between client devices in a real-time communications network are presented including: registering a first client device with a server on the real-time communications network, the first client device registering with a shared service identity, where the first client device becomes an active client device; and when a second client device enters a physical proximity of the first client device; establishing a personal area network connection between the first client device and the second client device; registering the second client device with the server, the second client device registering with the shared service identity, where the second client device becomes the active client device and the first client device becomes a waiting device, where the waiting device discontinues communication with the server.

Methods for barging an online user on a real-time communications network are presenting including: making a barge request by a barging user to barge online users; if online users are a part of an on-going call and the barging user has a barge privilege, joining the barging user with the on-going call; and if online users are not part of the on-going call and the barging user has the barge privilege, creating a new call with the barging user and the online user. In some embodiments, methods further include: if the barging caller is restricted and the barging user does not have the barge privilege, denying the barging user from the joining; and if the barging caller is not restricted and the barging user does not have the barge privilege, joining the barging user with the on-going call, and granting the floor control based on a standard floor control rule.
