1. A mobile device having at least two operational states and an RFID reader, comprising:
a controller configured to:
(1) automatically in response to the mobile device detecting with the RFID reader an RFID tag associated with an electronic device:
(a) cause communications directed to the mobile device to be forwarded to the electronic device; and
(b) cause the mobile device to change from a first operational state to a second operational state that uses less power than the first operational state; and
(2) cause the mobile device to change from the second operational state to a different operational state in response to detecting, via the RFID reader, that an RFID connection between the RFID reader and the RFID tag is broken.
