Abstract
Methods and computing systems for sharing content between related devices in a cellular network are described. A first device receives content from an external content source via a wireless connection, and causes presentation of the content on an output device of the first device. The first device retrieves information for one or more related devices that utilize the same telephone number the first device for sending and receiving at least cellular communications via the cellular network. The first device enables sharing of the content with at least one related device of the one or more related devices.

A method, comprising:
- receiving information of one or more related devices of a plurality of devices, the plurality of devices being registered with a cellular network to utilize a plurality of unique telephone number, respectively;
- and
- sending first information of at least one first device of the one or more related devices to a second device of the plurality of devices, based at least in part on the information of the one or more related devices, the first information of the at least one first device being utilized by the second device for sending content to the at least one first device, the at least one first device and the second device each being registered with the cellular network to utilize a shared telephone number.
A system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving information of one or more related devices of a plurality of devices, the plurality of devices being registered with a cellular network to utilize a plurality of unique telephone number, respectively;
- and
- sending first information of at least one first device of the one or more related devices to a second device of the plurality of devices, based at least in part on the information of the one or more related devices, the first information of the at least one first device being used by the second device for sending content to the at least one first device, the at least one first device and the second device each being registered with the cellular network to utilize a shared telephone number.
A server, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving information of one or more related devices of a plurality of devices, the plurality of devices being registered with a cellular network to utilize a plurality of unique telephone number, respectively;
- and
- sending first information of at least one first device of the one or more related devices to a second device of the plurality of devices, based at least in part on the information of the one or more related devices, the first information of the at least one first device being used by the second device for sending content to the at least one first device, the at least one first device and the second device each being registered with the cellular network to utilize a shared telephone number.
