Abstract
The present invention provides systems and methods that generate a feature list indicating the various features available in a mobile station and which of the features are enabled. The feature list can be displayed to the user and/or transmitted to remote customer service personnel. The feature list can be used to determine what features are activated on the mobile station for purposes of troubleshooting. Further, since the feature list is specific to each mobile station, a common operation manual for a plurality of different mobile stations can be used, where the user is directed by the manual to consult the feature list of the mobile station to determine whether a feature is available. Further, the feature list allows a service provider to determine what features are available on each end customer'"'"'s mobile station and target marketing based on this information.
