Abstract: Methods for tracking usage of a network by a plurality of users of a mobile phone include associating a plurality of user accounts with the mobile phone, where ones of the plurality of user accounts correspond to ones of the plurality of users of the mobile phone. Usage of the network by the mobile phone is automatically attributed to one of the plurality of user accounts responsive to receiving identifying information for a corresponding one of the plurality of users of the mobile phone. Charges for the one of the plurality of user accounts are calculated based on the usage attributed to the one of the plurality of user accounts. Related devices and computer program products are also discussed.

Abstract: A communication method for sending a message to an addressee using a first and second communication device of a user is disclosed. The method includes steps of, by the second communication device, determining that a message is to be sent from the user to the addressee, and sending, to the first communication device, at least part of the message; and steps of, by the first communication device, receiving, from the second communication device, the at least part of the message, and sending, to the addressee, the message with information identifying the first communication device as sender of the message. A communication method for receiving a message and replying thereto using a first and second communication device of a user is also disclosed.

Abstract: An application download server comprises a download request object and a configuration parameter object. The download request object receives a download request from a remote terminal. The download request identifies a requested application for download to the remote terminal. The configuration parameter object returns a configured application package to the remote terminal. The configured application package comprises installation files corresponding to the requested application and configuration files. The configuration files comprise a parameter value for each of a plurality of configuration parameters needed for operation of the requested application on the remote terminal.

Abstract: A system receives streaming media data and stores the received data related to main content in a first buffer. The system selectively extracts the received data from the first buffer to begin playback of the main content. The system halts playback and re-fills the buffer with received streaming media data representing the main content when the buffer reaches a location in the first buffer, which is suitable for re-filling of the first buffer. Upon halting playback of the main content, the system switches to instead play additional content from an additional buffer. When the additional content has been played, and the first buffer has been re-filled, the system will again extract media data from the first buffer to resume playback of the main content.

Abstract: Settings for an application may be downloaded into a device, for example, to facilitate a request for subscription to a service. The device may be programmed in dependence of at least one predetermined application, such that the device is configured to display a menu in which a user may navigate, the menu being associated with said application and guiding the user. The device may be actuated by means of a keystroke while in said menu causing the device to contact a server and download the settings for the application. The device may contact the server over the air by calling a telephone number loaded into the device and associated with said application. A session may be established with the server, wherein questions and answers are presented in further menus in the device. Thus, the device may be prepared by providing customized application specific menus, which may be self-instructing and user friendly. The menus may guide a user to select the required keystrokes, the number of which may be relatively low.
