Abstract
Personalization data such as settings and/or state is migrated across devices including mobile phones. Device personalizations are pushed to a cloud service or other mechanism for backup and subsequent transmission to other devices. The personalization data can later be employed to configure one or more other devices in the same manner as a first device.

A method performed by a computing device associated with a unique user, comprising:
- communicating with a remote migration service that stores personalizations applicable to a remote device that is associated with the unique user, the personalizations including installed applications, stored content, and state of the remote device, wherein the state includes capabilities of the remote device;
- receiving, at the computing device, an incoming call or message originally directed to the remote device that is redirected to the computing device responsively to the remote device being unavailable to receive the incoming call or message;
- receiving, at the computing device, personalizations applicable to the remote device from the remote migration service responsively to the remote device being unavailable to receive the incoming call or message;
- and
- rendering, on the computing device, the incoming call or message using the received personalizations.
