Abstract
Multiple mobile device numbers (MDNs) may be associated with a single user device. For outgoing communications, the user may choose which of the accounts are to be used. For incoming communications, application layer processes may perform an arbitration function to ensure that that the communication state, associated with each MDN, is correctly updated both at the user device and in the telecommunications network.
