System and method for facilitating carrier-specific configuration of a user device based on pre-stored information for multiple carriers
First Claim
1. A system for facilitating carrier-specific configuration of user devices, the system comprising a user device that includes one or more physical processors programmed to execute computer program instructions which, when executed, cause the user device to:
- store configuration packages comprising sets of carrier-specific parameters for configuring the user device for carrier networks of different carriers, wherein the sets of carrier-specific parameters comprise a set of carrier-specific parameters of one configuration package for configuring the user device for a carrier network of one carrier and a set of carrier-specific parameters of another configuration package for configuring the user device for a carrier network of another carrier;
select, during activation of the user device, one of the carrier networks on which the user device is to be configured to operate;
responsive to the selection of the carrier network, determine whether the stored configuration packages comprise a configuration package that comprises one or more carrier-specific parameters for configuring the user device for the selected carrier network;
responsive to the determination that the stored configuration packages comprise the configuration package that comprises the one or more carrier-specific parameters for configuring the user device for the selected carrier network, cause the user device to be configured for further access to the selected carrier network based on the configuration package that comprises the one or more carrier-specific parameters for configuring the user device for the selected carrier network; and
responsive to the determination that the stored configuration packages do not comprise the configuration package that comprises the one or more carrier-specific parameters for configuring the user device for the selected carrier network, provide, to a carrier-side computer system on the selected carrier network, a request for limited access to the selected carrier network for configuring the user device for the selected carrier network,wherein the limited access request comprises a multi-carrier-recognized access point name that is recognized by the carrier networks of the different carriers for obtaining carrier-specific parameters for configuring the user device via the carrier networks of the different carriers.

Abstract
In certain embodiments, carrier-specific configuration of a user device may be facilitated based on pre-stored information for multiple carriers. In some embodiments, a user device may store information for limited access (that allows the user device to obtain carrier-specific parameters from carrier networks). During activation, the user device may select one of the carrier networks on which the user device is to be configured to operate. Responsive to the selection, the user device may provide, to a carrier-side computer system on the selected carrier network, a request for limited access to the selected carrier network for configuring the user device, wherein the request comprises the stored access information that allows the user device to obtain carrier-specific parameters via the selected carrier network. Responsive to the limited access being granted, the user device may obtain a configuration package from the carrier-side computer system comprising parameters for configuring the user device.
