Cellular device identifier provisioning verification
First Claim
1. A method for ensuring accuracy and consistency of mobile station provisioning and activation parameters stored at multiple locations, where the parameters correspond to devices through which telematics services are provided, the method comprising:
- establishing, with a mobile station, a first connection;
requesting, via the first connection, a first set of network-independent hardware identification parameters stored at the mobile station;
receiving the first set of network-independent hardware identification parameters via the first connection;
identifying a subscriber account corresponding to at least one network-independent identification parameter in the first set of network-independent hardware identification parameters received from the mobile station;
requesting, via a second connection, hardware status or identification information pertaining to a mobile station corresponding to a network assigned parameter, the network assigned parameter being associated with the subscriber account;
receiving the hardware status or identification information pertaining to the mobile station corresponding to the network assigned parameter;
determining whether the first set of network-independent hardware identification parameters correspond to the hardware status or identification information pertaining to the mobile station corresponding to the network-assigned parameter; and
if one or more of the first set of network-independent hardware identification parameters do not correspond to the hardware status or identification information pertaining to the mobile station corresponding to the network assigned parameter, updating the subscriber account.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described for confirming the accuracy and consistency of cellular device provisioning parameters such as telematics station identifiers (TSTIDs) stored at multiple locations. One implementation consists of a method for ensuring accuracy and consistency of parameters stored at multiple locations. The method involves storing parameters on a computer readable medium, connecting to a mobile station corresponding to a first stored parameter, and requesting the mobile station with which a connection has been established report parameters stored at the mobile station. The method further involves establishing an API call with a carrier network operator who provides services to the mobile station, transmitting a second stored parameter to the carrier network operator and requesting the carrier network operator report parameters corresponding to the second stored parameter. The method then compares the parameters received from the mobile station with the parameters received from the carrier network operator.
