  • CONTROLLING A USER DEVICE
    Publication number: 20150029881
    Abstract: Measures for controlling a user device in a telecommunications network, the user device including a user interface, at least a first communication client capable of communicating via a first part of the telecommunications network and a second communication client capable of communicating via a second, different part of the telecommunications network. Network conditions associated with communication via the first part of the telecommunications network using the first communication client are analysed at the user device. In response to the analysis indicating that the quality of a communication session conducted via the first part of the telecommunications network using the first communication client would be below a predetermined communication session quality threshold, the user device configures the user interface to notify the indication to a user of the user device.
