    Abstract: A WiFi access point. The WiFi access point comprises a WiFi radio transceiver, a wired transceiver, a processor, a memory, and an application stored in the memory. When executed by the processor, the application transmits a first service set identifier via the radio, receives a request for connection from a wireless communication device via the radio directed to the first service set identifier, determines that the device is not HotSpot protocol compliant, transmits a second service set identifier via the radio as a private message that comprises a captive portal to the device, and receives a credential message from the device via the radio directed to the second service set identifier, wherein the credential message identifies a mobile equipment identity (MEID) and a phone number of the device. The application further authenticates the device with a server based on the credential message and provides a communication connection to the device.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to methods and systems for establishing a network connection with a mobile communication device. A mobile device may comprise an activation application operable to detect network connection options. Additionally, the activation application may determine the quality of the connection options and attempt to establish a connection with the network via one or more of the connection options. The activation application may use the network connection to request and receive an activation payload, which may be used to complete the activation process. In some cases, the activation application may facilitate the input of credentials for one or more connection option.

    Abstract: Many mobile devices can access websites on the Internet. A mobile device running a web server application can host websites and provide services. For a first mobile device to access services on a second mobile device, the first mobile device needs the IP address of the second mobile device. The first mobile device sends a connection request to the second mobile device. The first mobile device receives, from the second mobile device, the network address of the second mobile device, identification of services that are available on the second mobile device, and a security token. The first mobile device selects a service and sends an HTTP or HTTPS request for the service to the network address of the second mobile device, and also sends the security token. The second mobile device authenticates the request based on the token and allows the first mobile device to access the selected service.
