Abstract
Techniques are provided that extend the capabilities of mobile phone devices to automatically assign media content items to 'contacts' list entries. Thus, if a mobile device user indicates the desire to purchase a media content item to be assigned to or associated with another mobile device user (e.g., an entry in a contacts list), the experience of acquiring that media content item and making the assignment can be seamless reducing the number of tedious manual steps to accomplish that task.
