Communications systems have evolved at a dramatic pace over the last two decades spawning a new era of ubiquitous computing. Devices are becoming capable of handling different types of communication such as SMS, MMS, email, voice calls, audio or video streaming and allowing the user to send or receive any of these at any time in any place. However, the user needs to have control over which device will be used to deliver the content and in what format it will be delivered by configuring a set of preferences for his devices based on his context information. This paper describes the design and implementation of such a service, allowing users to manage any type of incoming communication to suit their needs.
