Abstract
Associating user identities with a network service involves detecting, at a first device, a subscriber identity previously associated with a second device. The second device was used to register a user identity with a network service, and the user identity includes a phone number of the second device and an account identifier generated by the network service for use with the second device. The network service is accessed from the first device and the first device receives a new identifier from the service. The first device registers with the service via a communication channel that utilizes a phone number of the first device to establish communication. In response to the phone number of the first device matching the phone number of the second device, the first device accesses the service using the user identity associated with the second device.
