Systems and methods for handling incoming communications directed to a telephony device

A system for causing the implementation of forwarding instructions that result in the forwarding of telephony communications directed to a native identifier assigned to a telephony device by a first telephony service provider that provides the telephony device with its native telephony service, the system being resident on a telephony device, the system comprising:

• means for determining whether at least one condition of the telephony device is satisfied;
• and
• means for causing forwarding instructions to be implemented by the first telephony service provider if the at least one condition is satisfied, the forwarding instructions causing the first telephony service provider to forward incoming telephony communications that are directed to the native identifier to a forwarding identifier.

A system for causing the implementation of forwarding instructions that result in the forwarding of telephony communications directed to a native identifier assigned to a telephony device by a first telephony service provider that provides the telephony device with its native telephony service, the system being resident on a telephony device, the system comprising:

• a triggering unit that determines whether at least one condition of the telephony device is satisfied;
• and
• a forwarding instruction unit that causes forwarding instructions to be implemented by the first telephony service provider if the triggering unit determines that the at least one condition is satisfied, the forwarding instructions causing the first telephony service provider to forward incoming telephony communications that are directed to the native identifier to a forwarding identifier.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instruction thereon that, when executed by one or more processors of a telephony device cause the telephony device to perform a method of causing the implementation of forwarding instructions that result in the forwarding of telephony communications directed to a native identifier assigned to the telephony device by a first telephony service provider that provides the telephony device with its native telephony service, the method comprising:

• determining whether at least one condition of the telephony device is satisfied;
• and
• causing forwarding instructions to be implemented by the first telephony service provider if the at least one condition is satisfied, the forwarding instructions causing the first telephony service provider to forward incoming telephony communications that are directed to the native identifier to a forwarding identifier.
