Activation of mobile computing device on a cellular network
First Claim
1. A mobile computing device, comprising:
- a storage medium prior to the device being activated on a network;
a processor circuit to receive a device identifier and to request a user account for the mobile computing device for services over a network, wherein the user account is requested using the configuration data and by transmitting the device identifier to a server, the processor to request the user account for services in response to a user request.

Abstract
An automated network registration and activation system and method of the present invention automatically configures a communication network device for communicating on a network and automatically handles the communication network registration and activation. In one embodiment a processor automatically configures a device for communicating on a communication network with automated registration and activation on the communication network. In one exemplary implementation, network configuration information includes a network unit device identifier (e.g., a MAN) and the present invention automatically registers and activates a device with a communication network when requested to activate by a user tapping on an activation application or being taken to the activation application.
