Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:
one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a first device, cause the first device to:
dynamically switch a proximity detection point from a second device to the first device, the proximity detection point being a device that detects a proximity to another device based on receiving proximity detection signaling from the other device,
wherein dynamically switching the proximity detection point is based on the second device conducting an on-going call to be pulled to the first device using a call pull transfer technique that provides call details to the first device before the first device pulls the on-going call;

receive a proximity detection signal or an indication of a loss of a proximity detection signal from the second device based on dynamically switching the proximity detection point to the first device;
receive, from a network, another indication of the on-going call being conducted by the second device based on the first device and the second device being associated with a same device identifier;
provide, to the network, a call origination request to pull the on-going call to the first device using the call pull transfer technique, the call origination request being based on the proximity detection signal or the indication of the loss of the proximity detection signal and based on the other indication of the on-going call;
connect with the on-going call based on the call origination request;
conduct the on-going call via the first device rather than the second device; and
detect the proximity detection signal or the indication of the loss of the proximity detection signal when the first device is conducting the on-going call,
wherein the second device does not reconnect with the on-going call, when detecting the proximity detection signal or when detecting the indication of the loss of the proximity detection signal, based on a user input instructing the second device to not pull the on-going call.
