1. A method of facilitating transfer of an existing session from a first user device to a second user device, wherein the existing session is established between the first user device and a remote party and wherein the existing session includes a first leg between the first user device and a server and a second leg between the server and the remote party, the server storing an association between a user address and both the first user device and the second user device, the method comprising:

  • receiving, at the second user device, a device switch message from the first user device, wherein the device switch message includes information identifying the existing session;

    sending from the second user device to the server a session invitation message containing a reference to the existing session with an instruction to replace the first user device;

    verifying from the stored association that the second user device is associated with the user address;

    accepting the session invitation message from the second user device to establish a new session;

    joining the new session with the second leg of the existing session to enable the exchange of media between the second user device and the remote party; and

    terminating the first leg of the existing session.
