Abstract:
A mobile device (501) is manufactured in device factory (502) and shipped for consumer sale to a retail outlet (552). When the mobile device is purchased by a user with a smart card of a carrier A, a carrier A account repository (508) is notified. After the user purchases the mobile device, the user can activate the mobile device by connecting the mobile device to an access device to access a mobile services application (420). The mobile services application sends an authentication request to the account repository to ensure that the user requesting the activation service is the true owner of the mobile device and/or an authorized subscriber of carrier A's telecommunication services. The activation is authorized when information included in the authentication request matches information associated with the mobile device in the account repository.
Abstract:
A method performed by a mobile device to register for cellular data connection service provided by a mobile telecommunications service provider. The mobile device determines that it does not have a valid cellular data connection subscription with the mobile telecommunications service provider. Responsive to that determination, the mobile device connects to a cellular data connection service registration site to allow a user of the mobile device to register for data connection service provided by the mobile telecommunications service provider. The mobile device is limited to accessing the data connection service registration site until the user registers for data connection service.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer-readable medium for providing telecommunications carrier configuration at activation of a mobile device. In one implementation, a method is provided. The method includes receiving a request for activation of a mobile device, and during activation of the mobile device, determining for the mobile device a telecommunications carrier from a number of telecommunications carriers, and identifying information associated with the determined telecommunications carrier for configuring the mobile device
Abstract:
Methods, systems and computer-readable medium for providing telecommunications carrier configuration at activation of a mobile device. In one implementation, a method is provided which comprises transmitting a request for activation of the mobile device to an access device and receiving, in response to the request, information associated with a first telecommunications carrier, the first telecommunications carrier being associated with a first smart card, and an activation record specific to the mobile device. The method also comprise configuring the mobile device based on at least the first smart card and the received information associated with the first telecommunications carrier, wherein the activation record applies an activation policy which permits one or more configurations of the mobile device based on at least the first smart card.
