// "disconnected", "incoming", "holding", "held", "resuming"
readonly attribute DOMString state;

readonly attribute nsIDOMDOMError error;

// functions to mediate a call.
void answer();  
void hangUp();
void hold(); 
void resume(); 

attribute nsIDOMEventListener onstatechange;

attribute nsIDOMEventListener ondialing;
attribute nsIDOMEventListener onalerting;
attribute nsIDOMEventListener onbusy;
attribute nsIDOMEventListener onconnecting;
attribute nsIDOMEventListener onconnected;
attribute nsIDOMEventListener ondisconnecting;
attribute nsIDOMEventListener ondisconnected;
attribute nsIDOMEventListener onincoming;
attribute nsIDOMEventListener onholding;

attribute nsIDOMEventListener onresuming; 
};

Use Case

Outgoing Call

• Current B2G

 navigator.mozTelephony.dial(number)

• Multi-SIM

 navigator.mozTelephonyManager.defaultPhone.dial()
navigator.mozTelephonyManager.phones[index].dial()

Incoming Call

• Current B2G

 Tel1 = navigator.mozTelephony;

• Multi-SIM

 Tel1 = navigator.mozTelephonyManager.phones[index];

Once the telephony object is obtained, the following work remains the same.

Tel1.addEventListener('incoming');
Tel1.onincoming = function onincoming (evt) {
incoming = evt.call; };
incoming.answer();

Implementation Details

Proposal: Architecture

This is the current architecture supporting a single SIM card.

Here is a proposal for multi-SIMs.
