ABSTRACT:
A cellular radiotelephone which includes a programmable memory location which is programmed with a unique initial identification number is remotely programmed by providing the initial identification number to a cellular system, and establishing a page from the cellular system to the radiotelephone using the initial identification number to identify the radiotelephone. Data, including a mobile identification number, is transmitted during the page, and the programmable memory location is programmed with the mobile identification number. Accordingly, the radiotelephone can be conveniently programmed after purchase from a remote location. In addition, the initial identification number may comprise predetermined digits chosen from the electronic serial number.
