Abstract
System and methods for using a single number for multiple devices supported by distinct network operators are described. A secondary device from a different network operator may be provisioned on a wireless communications network and associated with a primary telephone number that is also associated with one or more other devices so that traffic for the primary telephone number is duplicated to the secondary device. When the secondary device is used for communications with the primary telephone number, call detail records may be provided to the primary network billing system that may not charge for the services and to a billing system associated with the secondary device for appropriate billing.
