Abstract
A system and method for configuring, or provisioning, mobile communication devices 10 by an administrator 12. Administrator 12 comprises a computer, or second mobile device 18. Feature codes for configuring a device 10 are encrypted into a Short Message System (SMS) message or an Internet protocol-based Over-the-Air (IOTA) protocol message and transmitted to mobile device 10. The message further contains a mobile identifier and a set/reset bit to indicate whether the features are to be set or reset. The encrypted message is communicated to mobile device 10 over communications channel 14 of a mobile communication network.
