Claim:
1. A method for processing an incoming call to a mobile electronic communication device, where a first call processing profile is associated with a first peripheral device and a second call processing profile is associated with a second peripheral device, the method comprising: determining that the first peripheral device is operatively coupled to the mobile electronic communication device; allowing the incoming call, from a particular telephone number, to the mobile electronic communication device to be processed according to the first call processing profile in response to the first peripheral device being operatively coupled to the mobile electronic communication device; determining that the second peripheral device is operatively coupled to the mobile electronic communication device and that the first peripheral device is no longer operatively coupled to the mobile electronic communication device; and enabling different processing of a response to the incoming call from the particular telephone number to be automatically determined subject to different peripheral devices being operatively coupled to the mobile electronic communication device such that an incoming call alert occurs at the mobile electronic communication device specifically when one of the different peripheral devices is operatively coupled to the mobile electronic communication device and providing no incoming call alert when another of the different peripheral devices is also operatively coupled to the mobile electronic device, yet processing the incoming call in a manner different from the peripheral device configured to cause the incoming call alert.
