1. A method, comprising:
- facilitating registering, by a system including a processor, a voice over Internet protocol communication device to a voice over Internet protocol service in response to a presence detection of a communication device in an area, wherein the voice over Internet protocol communication device and the communication device are physically separate devices; and
facilitating de-registering, by the system, the voice over Internet protocol communication device from the voice over Internet service in response to an absence detection of the communication device in the area.

9. A tangible machine readable storage device comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor of a communication device to perform operations comprising:
-
transmitting a signal from the communication device to enable a system to perform a presence detection of the communication device in an area, wherein a voice over Internet protocol communication device is registered by the system to a voice over Internet protocol service in response to the presence detection of the communication device in the area, wherein the voice over Internet protocol communication device and the communication device are separate devices; and providing a communication service at the communication device responsive to the communication device being outside of the area, wherein the communication service is disabled at the communication device responsive to a determination by the system that the communication device is present in the area, and wherein the voice over Internet protocol communication device is de-registered from the voice over Internet service in response to an absence detection by the system of the communication device leaving the area. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A communication device comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, including; transmitting a signal from the communication device to enable a system to perform a presence detection of the communication device in an area, wherein a voice over Internet protocol communication device is registered by the system to a voice over Internet protocol service in response to the presence detection of the communication device in the area, the voice over Internet protocol communication device and the communication device being separate devices; and providing a communication service at the communication device responsive to the communication device being outside of the area, the communication service being disabled at the communication device responsive to a determination by the system that the communication device is present in the area, and the voice over Internet protocol communication device being de-registered from the voice over Internet service in response to an absence detection by the system of the communication device leaving the area. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
