Abstract:
A telephony device and method of operating the telephony device generates local push notifications. The method comprises receiving from a network a notification of an incoming call carried by a non-native telephony service. In conjunction with the incoming call a push notification is provided on a user interface while the telephony device is subject to a security lock. The push notification is configured to prompt a first user response input through the user interface. Upon receipt of an appropriate first user response input, a telephony connection carried by the non- native telephony service is completed while the telephony device is still subject to the security lock.
