Abstract
Various user interfaces and other technologies for interacting with devices that support multiple communication lines can be implemented. Scenarios providing separate communications lines, such as voice over internet protocol (VOIP), social network communications, and the like can be supported. For example, communication-line-separated and communication-line-aggregated user interface paradigms can be supported. Intelligent selection of an appropriate paradigm can support user preferences, conversation user interfaces, and the like. Other features such as communication line defaults can help users deal with multiple communication line scenarios. A consistent, compact user interface for switching communication lines can be supported. Users can interact with their devices more efficiently and with less frustration. A wide variety of use scenarios are supported.
