Abstract

Systems and methods for activating a mobile device for use with a service provider are described. In one exemplary method, a mobile device having a currently inserted SIM card may be prepared for activation using a signing process in which an activation server generates a signed activation ticket encoded with SIM policy data that corresponds to the combination of the device and one of a number ofSIM cards belonging to a set of SIM cards defined by the SIM policy data. The activation ticket is securely stored on the mobile device. In another exemplary method the mobile device may be activatedin an activation process in which the device verifies an activation ticket against information specific to the device and SIM card in accordance with the SEM policy in the activation ticket, and initiates activation when the verification of the activation ticket is successful.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is a continuation-in-part of US Patent Application No. 11 / 849,286, filed September 1, 2007, entitled "SERVICE PROVIDERACTIVATION." Background technique [0003] Mobile devices manufactured to use Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) digital cellular telephone technology are designed to work with any mobile communication service provider. The device requires the use of a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), also known as a SIM card, which must be inserted into the GSM device in order to subscribe to the user's service provider network. A SIM card is a small circuit board containing identifiers and the like identifying service providers the SIM card is allowed to use. Typically, each service provider, such as AT&T or Verizon, is assigned their own range of SIM card identifiers for use by their network. [0004] Most GSM devices are manufactured with a service provider lock code that restricts the ...
