ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for automatic activation of a wireless device in a subscription activation system are provided which use information received from a programmed but non-activated device. In one variation, the subscription activation system determines that the received information satisfies a parameter necessary for activation. In another variation, the subscription activation system verifies that the information received satisfies a previously determined criterion necessary for activation. Based upon the above, the subscription activation system activates the device. In a related manner, a system is constructed which uses an activation unit configured to receive and process information from a programmed non-activated wireless device. Using the information, the activation unit determines if activation criteria necessary for activation of the programmed wireless device in the system are satisfied and, based upon the information and if the criteria are satisfied, the activation unit activates the wireless device in the system.
