15. A method of linking a network number with other devices, the method comprising:
-
receiving a signaling word from a first device wherein the signaling word comprises a first unique identifier that uniquely identifies the first device, a second unique identifier that uniquely identifies a second device and payload data indicating a change request; and
assigning to the first device a profile associated with the second device.

17. A method of sharing a network number with multiple devices, the method comprising:
-
displaying a user interface on a first device wherein a user is capable of specifying a change request that assigns to the first device a network number associated with a second device; and
generating the change request with the first device wherein the change request comprises a first unique identifier that uniquely identifies the first device and a second unique identifier that uniquely identifies a second device wherein the first and second unique identifiers are not the network number.

-
18. A device configured to operate a personal network of devices, the device comprising:
-
means for generating a change request suitable for causing a service available to the personal network to become available to the device, where the change request includes at least a first unique identifier that uniquely identifies a first device, a second unique identifier that uniquely identifies a second device, and payload data representative of the change request; and
means for data communicating the change request to a service provider'"'"'s network.

19. A device configured to operate in a personal network of devices, the device comprising:
-
logic configured to detect a triggering event;
means for generating a change request in response to the triggering event to associate a personal network service with the device, where the change request includes at least a unique identifier that uniquely identifies the device and payload data including identification of the personal network service to be associated to the device; and
means for data communicating the change request to a service provider'"'"'s network. - View Dependent Claims (20)
