Abstract
A method for managing a communication session between a first communication device and a second device in a communication network (100) is disclosed. The communication session is conveyed between a service-provider server and the first communication device via a first communication link. The method at the first communication device includes requesting (204) a third communication device to be associated with the communication session. The first communication device requests the third communication device, via a second communication link. The second communication link is substantially transparent to the service-provider server. The method also includes determining (206) whether the third communication device can be associated with the communication session. Further, the method includes requesting (208) the service-provider server to associate the communication session with the third communication device when the third communication session can be associated with the communication session, via a third communication link.
