    摘要: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device, comprising: a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising: detecting that a 911 call had been made on a carrier network by the device, the device having associated therewith a telephone number; responsive to the detecting that the 911 call had been made, sending a token to the carrier network, the token causing the carrier network to disable call blocking to the telephone number. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: In one example, a processing system of a mobile communication device may obtain a text message content and an identification of a recipient via a native short message service application of the mobile communication device, embed the text message content in a media file, and transmit the media file via an over-the-top messaging application to a network-based short message service mediation server. In another example, a processing system deployed in a communication network may obtain an over-the-top messaging application message including a media file from a source mobile communication device, where the media file comprises a text message content and an identification of a recipient that are embedded in the media file, extract the text message content and the identification of the recipient from the media file, and transmit the text message content to the recipient via a short messaging service message.

    摘要: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device including a processing system that evaluates a need for additional data streaming resources at the device, and determines that a set of cooperating devices, located within a predetermined distance, is configured for sharing data streaming resources. The device receives the requested data from the cooperating devices in simultaneous streams, each stream including a segment of the requested data. The data source sends the requested data in parallel streams to the set of cooperating devices respectively, in accordance with addresses provided to the data source for each of the cooperating devices. The processing system assembles the requested data from the simultaneous streams. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device comprising: a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising: receiving, based upon a first communication between first user equipment and a first wireless network, a first temporary identifier of the first user equipment; correlating the first temporary identifier to a first permanent identifier of the first user equipment; tracking a first amount of data that is carried by the first wireless network and that is associated with the first user equipment, resulting in first tracked data usage, wherein the tracking is based upon the correlating of the first temporary identifier to the first permanent identifier; determining whether the first tracked data usage exceeds a first threshold, resulting in a first determination; and responsive to the first determination being that the first tracked data usage does not exceed the first threshold, providing a first reward to a first operator of the first wireless network. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting, over a network, a call originating from a call originator and intended for a user of a user equipment, responsive to the detecting the call, determining whether to challenge the call originator, based on a determination to challenge the call originator, transmitting a request to the call originator, wherein the request prompts the call originator to specify an identity of the call originator and a purpose for the call, obtaining information from a call originator input responsive to the transmitting the request, deriving enhanced Caller Name or Caller ID data that includes the information, and causing the enhanced Caller Name or Caller ID data to be provided to the user equipment, thereby enabling the user of the user equipment to determine whether to answer the call. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: The technologies described herein are generally directed to modeling radio wave propagation in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include, facilitating, by a first device, receiving a first communication directed to a second device from a third device associated with a first telephone number. The method can further include determining, by the first device, that the first communication comprises a reference to a second telephone number different from the first telephone number, resulting in a number discrepancy. Further, based on the number discrepancy and an analysis of the first communication, the method can further include preventing, by the first device, communication of the first communication to the third device.
