1. A system, comprising:

  • a mobile device comprising;

    a memory storing instructions; and

    a processor to execute one or more of the instructions to;

    transmit a signal to a network device of a network,the signal including information identifying a hardware component included in the mobile device, 

    the information identifying the hardware component including information identifying a type of a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card included in the mobile device, and the network being associated with a service provider;

    receive a response signal from the network device,the response signal comprising a network code, 

    the network code being based on the information identifying the type of the SIM card, 

    the network code indicating whether the mobile device is allowed to access the network, and 

    the network code having a particular value, 

    the particular value being a first value when the network code is a Protocol Configuration Option (PCO) code and a type of account, associated with the mobile device, is one of a post-pay account or a pre-pay account with a positive account balance, 

    the particular value being a second value when the network code is a PCO code and the type of account, associated with the mobile device, is a pre-pay account having no account balance, 

    the particular value being a third value when the network code is a PCO code and the type of account, associated with the mobile device, is a self-activation account, and 

    the particular value being a fourth value when the network code is an Evolved Packet System Mobility Management (EMM) code and no account is associated with the mobile device, 

    the first value, the second value, the third value, and the fourth value being different values;

    provide, for display, an interactive activation screen based on the network code,the interactive activation screen being;



    a first interactive activation screen, configured to allow the mobile device to have unrestricted access to the network, when the network code is the PCO code having the first value, 

    a second interactive activation screen configured to allow the mobile device to connect to a web portal, hosted by the service provider, via which a user of the mobile device activates the account, when the network code is the PCO code having the second value or the third value, and 

    a third interactive activation screen, configured to allow the mobile device to connect to a wireless network, when the network code is the EMM code having the fourth value;

    receive one or more user inputs for at least one of the first interactive activation screen or the second interactive activation screen; and

    access the network based on the one or more user inputs.
