Abstract
Methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, are described for communication session transfer between a plurality of computing devices. A first computing device detects a presence of a second computing device in proximity to the first device, where the first device has established a first communication session with a remote computing device. The first device establishes a wireless connection to the second device. A first token is transmitted to the second device. A second token is received from the second device. The second token is authenticated via comparison to the first token. The first device transmits, to the second device, information indicating a state of the first communication session to enable the second device to establish a second communication session with the remote device, where the second communication session is established using the state of the first communication session.
