Abstract: A communications system may include at least a first user equipment (UE) device and a second UE device that communicate with one or more hosts via a cellular network and a call routing server. The first UE and the second UE may be paired and may convey peer-to-peer (P2P) signals between each other when in close proximity. The first UE may communicate with the cellular network using a Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN). The MSISDN may, as one example, be shared between the first UE and the second UE. In response to a trigger condition associated with the second UE moving out of proximity to the first UE and/or a user input, communication with the cellular network using the MSISDN may switch from the first UE to the second UE. This may be reversed when the second UE moves back into proximity to the first UE.
