ABSTRACT:
In a method for remotely establishing a cellular service account for a cellular radiotelephone within a cellular system, prompts for user input of account information are generated by the cellular system and sent to the cellular radiotelephone. The cellular radiotelephone provides the prompts for user input of the account information, accepts user input of the account information, and generates a data signal within the cellular radiotelephone in response to the user input of the account information. The cellular radiotelephone sends the data signal from the cellular radiotelephone to the cellular system, and the cellular system stores the account information to establish the cellular service account.
