Abstract
Various user interfaces and other technologies for interacting with devices that support multiple communication lines can be implemented. For example, intelligent handling of communication line selection can help users deal with multiple communication line scenarios. A user interface for overriding communication line selection can be supported. Users can interact with their devices more efficiently and with less frustration. A wide variety of use default communication line scenarios are supported. Communication lines can be selected based on any of a rich set of input factors.
