First Claim
1. A method for operating a cellular wireless communication network to configure a mobile station to support a Multi-Media Service (MMS), the method comprising:
- determining that configuration of the mobile station for the MMS is required;
provisioning a plurality of components of the cellular wireless communication network for configuring the mobile station, the plurality of components of the cellular wireless communication network including an Over-The-Air-Function (OTAF);
locating the mobile station;
establishing a wireless communication link with the mobile station via a servicing base station;
establishing communications between the OTAF and the mobile station via a combination of a wired path of the cellular wireless communication network and the wireless communication link; and
the OTAF communicating with the mobile station to program at least one MMS Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) within the mobile station.

Abstract
Operating a cellular wireless communication network to configure a mobile station to support a Multi-Media Service (MMS). Operation includes determining that configuration of the mobile station for the MMS is required. A plurality of components of the cellular wireless communication network are provisioned for configuring the mobile station, the plurality of components of the cellular wireless communication network including an Over-The-Air-Function (OTAF). The mobile station is then located, e.g., serving MSC, BSC, and base station are determined. Then, a wireless communication link with the mobile station via a servicing base station is established. Communications between the OTAF and the mobile station are then established via a combination of a wired path of the cellular wireless communication network and the wireless communication link. The OTAF then communicates with the mobile station to program at least one MMS Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) within the mobile station.
