System and method for connecting, configuring and testing new wireless devices and applications
First Claim
1. A control center server for enabling a wireless device to operate on a wireless cellular network comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to;
pre-provision a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card for operation in the wireless device on the wireless cellular network on behalf of a user, wherein the SIM card is distributed to the user with an associated referral code;
receive at least one of a GSM authorization request and a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) Location Update from the wireless device associated with the SIM card;
provide a first webpage to the user to request user data representative of the user associated with the SIM card;
receive the user data representative of the user associated with the SIM card;
establish a user account for the user utilizing the user data representative of the user; and
provide a second webpage to the user, wherein the second webpage comprises a graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying data associated with a status of at least one wireless device comprising at least one user selectable tab, and wherein when the user selectable tab is selected the GUI displays data associated with at least one integrated circuit card identifier (ICCID) including data associated with the ICCID of the SIM card distributed to the user.
