1. An apparatus for providing connectivity across multiple devices, comprising:

  • a first end-user device configured to;

    facilitate a communication session that may be transferred from a first end-user device, the first end-user device being associated with a first call leg and the second end-user device being associated with a second call leg, the second end-user device having a preference; and

    transmit a signal strength of the second end-user device to a mobility server in accordance with a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signal strength events package of the second end-user device subscribed to by the mobility server, the mobility server configured to determine that the signal strength can satisfy the preference, and, in response to the determination and independent of a user request to transfer, automatically transfer the communication session from the first call leg to the second call leg to hand the communication session from the first end-user device to the second end-user device;

    wherein the mobility server is operable to elect whether to execute the communication leg transfer based on a comparison of signal strength information received from the first and second end-user devices.
