Abstract
In general, this disclosure describes techniques for transferring an active telephone call between devices using short-range wireless communication. In one example, a method includes, while the first device and a second device are connected to a telephone call, obtaining, by the first device and from a third device using short-range wireless communication, configuration information associated with the third device, sending, by the first device, a message to a call controller in order to connect the third device to the telephone call, wherein the message includes at least a portion of the configuration information associated with the third device, and disconnecting the first device from the telephone call after the third device is connected to the telephone call.
