A user device may receive a request for content; provide the request to a first server; receive an instruction based on providing the request for content; and provide a message to a second server based on receiving the instruction. The message may cause the second server to embed a unique identifier (ID) of the user device in the message to form a modified message for transmission to a third server. The modified message may cause the third server to form an object having the unique ID. The user device may receive the object based on providing the message to the second server; provide the object to the first server or to a fourth server; and receive, from the first server or the fourth server, particular content based on providing the object to the first server or the fourth server. The particular content may be based on the unique ID.

A first communication device receives a communication from a second communication device. The communication could be part of the signaling used to establish a call to the second communication device or an audio signal that the second communication device conveys after its user has answered the call and started speaking. Based on the communication from the second communication device, the first communication device provides a user-discernible indication regarding the environment in which the second communication device is being used, such as an indication that the second communication device is being used with a speakerphone. If the second communication device is being used in a vehicle, the first communication device may also provide a user-discernible indication regarding the operational status of the vehicle, such as whether the vehicle is in motion and/or the number of occupants in the vehicle.

Method and system for determining environmental characteristics of a called communication device

A first network device is configured to receive information regarding a quality of service application that is part of an application stored on a device. The first network device is configured to further receive a request for a network to apply the level of quality service to the application stored on the device. The first network device is configured to further send an authorization request to the second network device. The first network device is configured to further receive an authorization result from the second network device. The first network device is configured send a first message to a third network device and receiving a response from the third network device that the level of quality of service is applied to the information; and send a message to the provider that the level of quality of service is applied to the information.

Changing levels of quality of service

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer-readable media for initiating anonymous communication between a first user and a second user. In particular, an anonymous communication request is transmitted from a first user to a session management node. The anonymous communication request may include search criteria provided by the first user. Based on the search criteria, the session management node many generate a query to a profile server. The profile server may identify a second user based on the search criteria provided by the first user. Additionally, the profile server may provide an identifier of the second user to the session management node. Further, the session management node may initiate anonymous communication between the first user and the second user.

Anonymous calling

A method, system, and medium are provided for facilitating message recalls. One embodiment includes receiving an indication that a message has been communicated in association with a user device. A confirmation message is communicated to the user device. The confirmation message includes a recall option that, if selected, initiates a recall of the voice message. An indication of a user selection of the recall option is received and, thereafter, a recall of the message is initiated.

Recalling user-generated messages

A first server may: receive, from a second server, a request for location information associated with a first user device having a first identifier and a second identifier, or a request for information to identify one or more second user devices located in a particular geographic area; determine the second identifier based on information stored by the first server mapping the second identifier to the first identifier; provide, to the third server, the second identifier to request the location information associated with the second identifier; receive the location information associated with the second identifier; and provide, to the second server, the location information associated with the user device based on receiving the location information. The first server may provide information regarding the geographic area to the third server to receive the information identifying the one or more user devices in the geographic area.

Secure location identification service

A device may receive a request for information associated with a status of a user device from an application server device. The device may determine, based on the request, whether the user device is connected to a first network and may provide a first response to the application server device when the user device is connected to the first network. The first response may indicate that the user device is connected to the first network. When the user device is not connected to a first network, the device may determine whether the user device is connected to a second network that is different than the first network. When the user device is connected to the second network, the device may provide a second response to the application server device. The second response may indicate that the user device is connected to the second network.

User device status information system

A method, system, and medium are provided for applying call events in association with user devices based on priority levels is provided. One embodiment of the method includes referencing an active event level associated with a user device. The active event level indicates an extent of call events, such as dropped calls and/or blocked calls, in association with the user device. When it is determined that the active event level is unacceptable, a priority level associated with the user device is adjusted based on the active event level to reconcile the unacceptable active event level.

Applying call events in association with user devices based on priority levels

A method and system for selecting a coverage area in which a given mobile station should operate. The system will receive user ratings of call quality per coverage area. The system will then use the received user ratings as a basis to select a coverage area in which the given mobile station should operate. The system will then cause the given mobile station to operate in the selected coverage area. By using these user ratings as a basis to select a coverage area in which the given mobile station should operate, the system can help improve call quality overall for users, thus increasing user satisfaction with wireless performance.
