1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a system including a processor, status change information from a first communication device of a first user over a network, the status change information being associated with a second user, the first communication device not being associated with the second user, wherein the first communication device determines the status change information associated with the second user based on a type of communication service being provided by the first communication device to a second communication device associated with the second user at a time of detecting the second communication device; and
adjusting, by the system, a user profile of the second user responsive to the status change information, the user profile being stored in a memory accessible to the system,wherein the adjusting of the user profile of the second user is performed without user intervention by the second user.

11. A first communication device, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; detecting a second communication device of a second user in proximity to the first communication device, wherein the detecting of the second communication device in proximity to the first communication device is according to wireless communications between the first and second communication devices; determining status change information associated with the second user based on the detecting of the second communication device; and providing the status change information over a network to a server, wherein the first communication device is not associated with the second user, wherein the providing of the status change information to the server causes adjusting a user profile of the second user by the server according to the status change information, wherein the adjusting of the user profile of the second user is performed without user intervention by the second user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a second communication device, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
providing communication signals that enable a first communication device to detect the second communication device in proximity to the first communication device, wherein a detection of the second communication device in proximity to the first communication device causes the first communication device to make a first determination of status change information for a second user of the second communication device, and wherein the first determination of the status change information causes the first communication device to provide the status change information to a server for adjusting a user profile of the second user according to the status change information, wherein the first determination of the status change information for the second user is based on a type of communication service being utilized by the first communication device at a time of the detecting of the second communication device; and providing verification information to the server without user intervention by the second user, wherein the providing of the verification information causes the server make a second determination of an accuracy of the status change information associated with the second user that was determined by the first communication device, wherein the adjusting of the user profile of the second user is performed responsive to the second determination by the server that the status change information associated with the second user is accurate. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
