Abstract
Multiple user devices may be associated with a single telephone number to enable a user to initiate and receive communication via the single telephone number from any of the multiple user devices. An input is received at a service portal of a mobile telecommunication network. The input configures multiple user devices to share a common telephone number to initiate and receive communications. The input is stored as a device association profile in a device association data store that is accessible by a call session control function (CSCF) node of the mobile telecommunication network. The CSCF node then further determines based at least on the device association profile whether a user device is eligible to use the common telephone number to initiate and receive communications via the mobile telecommunication network.
