Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed which enable a user of a communications device to receive a notification of a priority and a context of a call before answering the call. A caller records a short phrase to be played on the callee's device either in place of ringing or following a predetermined amount of rings controlled by the callee's preferences. Among the callee's preferences is a selection of priority, such as among low, high, and critical. When callee's communications device is in any of these modes, every incoming call is intercepted giving the caller the opportunity to provide a short phrase for the context of the call and choose a priority level. This short phrase is played on the callee's communications device if the specified priority of the call matches or exceeds the current mode set on the callee's communications device, and the callee may answer.

Abstract: The identity of a mobile communication device can be authenticated to allow the device to access a web site without the need for a user log-in operation. The mobile device stores an identity token and sends it to the web server in the web browser data stream. Additionally, the mobile device transmits an identity token to an authentication entity using a data stream other than the web browser data. The authentication entity queries the wireless network to verify authentication of the mobile device. The identity token may be the mobile telephone number itself, a temporary mobile subscriber identity assigned by the mobile network, or encrypted or hashed versions of either. Alternatively, a new temporary mobile subscriber identity may be sent to the mobile device and retransmitted back to the authentication entity.
