    Abstract: A communication system is provided wherein multiple communication devices of a user may collaborate with each other via an extended virtual Personal Area Network (EVPAN). When the user exits his car and leaves one of his collaborative devices in the car, and travels out of Personal Area Network (PAN) range of the device in the car, the communication system provides for the user to take advantage of the collaborative features the device left behind in the car by bridging the PAN with a WAN via an EVPAN server. Further, the communication system provides for collaborative communication devices to communicate with each other without a need for users of such collaborative communication devices to be authenticated. For example, someone picking up a first communication device of a user can connect to a second, collaborative communication device of the user without the person using the first communication device being authenticated.
