Instant Activation and Provisioning for Telecommunication Services on a Mobile Device
First Claim
1. A method for instant activation of virtual PBX services on a mobile device, comprising:
- receiving a user request for activating a subset of virtual PBX services on a mobile device;
retrieving an available primary identification number for the subset of virtual PBX services from a telecommunication service provider (TSP);
presenting a user interface on the mobile device having one or more of the following interface portions;
a first interface portion presenting the available primary identification number; and
a second interface portion configured to receive a user identifier;
receiving user input specifying the user identifier from the second interface portion;
while the user interface is still presented on the mobile device, receiving a user instruction for activating the subset of virtual PBX services;
upon receiving the user instruction, sending the user identifier to the TSP; and
receiving a confirmation from the TSP indicating that the subset of virtual PBX services has been successfully activated.

Abstract
Methods and systems for instant activation of virtual PBX services on a mobile device are disclosed. In one aspect, a user request for activating virtual PBX services is received on a mobile device. An available primary identification number for the virtual PBX services is retrieved from a telecommunication service provider (TSP). A user interface is presented on the mobile device including a first interface portion presenting the available primary identification number and a second interface portion configured to receive a user identifier. Upon receiving the user input specifying the user identifier and while the user interface is still presented on the mobile device, a user instruction for activating the virtual PBX services is received. Upon receiving the user instruction, the user identifier is sent to the TSP. Then, a confirmation is received from the TSP.
