Abstract:

Described herein are systems and methods for single-step direct activation of telecommunication services for a mobile device. One embodiment of the disclosure of this application is related to a system comprising a transceiver receiving product information from a mobile device and receiving service plan information from the mobile device, and a server verifying availability of service for the mobile device based on at least one of the product information and the service plan information, and activating telecommunication service with the mobile device. The received product information including an international mobile equipment identity (“IMEI”) number received from an IMEI trigger event and an international mobile subscriber identity (“IMSI”) number received from a pre-provisioned subscriber identity module (“SIM”) component. The server accesses a national SIM manager (“NSM”) database, wherein the NSM includes pre-populated pairing of IMSI numbers with corresponding integrated circuit card identification (“ICCID”) numbers, and the server further retrieves a corresponding ICCID number for the IMSI of the mobile device and including the corresponding ICCID number with the product information.
