Abstract
A method and a server are provided for transferring a multimedia session from a first terminal to a second terminal. The session having been set up, with the help of an application server, between the first terminal and a service network comprising a content server, a user of the first terminal enters a command to pause the session. A session identity is stored in the application server. The user then turns to the second terminal, which obtains the session identity from the application server. The second terminal can then send a request to the content server to resume the session, the session identity being used to specify to the content server which session is to be resumed.
