Abstract
A wearable device, such as a smartwatch, may be used to enable switching of network services between endpoints. The switching of network services may include transferring the telephone number associated with a user's account to a particular active device, selected from a number of possible devices, of the user. The switching may be based on a number of factors and coordinated through the wearable device. The factors may include, for example, the location of the user, the location of the user relative to the user's endpoints, user provided priority information, and/or other user-specified profile information relating to endpoint preferences.
