1. A method comprising:

  • receiving, by a first user device in physical contact with a user, a handoff request from a second user device also in physical contact with the user, wherein the first user device is in an active data session with a service via a network, wherein the handoff request comprises an address of the second user device and further comprises an instruction instructing the first user device to handoff the active data session to the second user device, wherein the second user device generates the handoff request in response to detecting, via a sensor of the second user device, that the second user device is in physical contact with the user, and wherein the handoff request is received by the first user device via a bone conduction signal that is sent by a transducer of the second user device and that is propagated through a bone of the user in physical contact with the first user device and the second user device; and

    initiating, by the first user device, handoff of the active data session to the second user device in response to the handoff request.
