Cloud-based device twinning

摘要

A network-based service is utilized to facilitate twinning of two or more communication devices associated with a subscriber account. Incoming communication is intercepted by a communication device and forwarded to a network server, which in turn transmits the incoming communication to the multiple twinned devices. In addition, identifier data associated with outgoing communication is replaced with a primary identifier (e.g., customer telephone number (CTN)) of a user's primary device or a common identifier (e.g., a mobile one number (MON)) assigned to devices associated with the user's subscriber account. Communication devices can be temporarily twinned for a defined time period, during which a common bill can be generated for the twinned devices.

1. A network device, comprising:
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving, from a first user equipment, communication data that has been transmitted from a source device to the first user equipment,based on identifier data associated with a subscriber account of the first user equipment that is received from a network data store, determining that the first user equipment is linked to a second user equipment associated with the subscriber account, wherein the identifier data links a first subscriber identity module identifier of the first user equipment with a second subscriber identity module identifier of the second user equipment, andin response to the determining, providing the communication data to the first user equipment and the second user equipment.
