Cellular telephone handsets often include electronic or software coding that “locks” them to a specific wireless network. Provided herein, is a method for provisioning locked handsets by unlocking them from their established network and relocking them on a new cellular network. The handset is connected in communication with the control process, identified, and provisioned. The method allows for provisioning of multiple models and brands to be provisioned from different carriers and to different carriers. It further allows multiple handsets to be provisioned simultaneously. During the process, the handset may be sensitivity tested. Further, the identification portion of the method can be used in conjunction with phone support tools beyond the provisioning process. |

The present solution relates to providing a call service in a communication system, where in response to recognizing a predetermined event related to a user terminal (UEA), it is checked (203, 204) whether the user terminal (UEA) is a roaming user terminal (UEA) roaming in a visited packet switched network. It is also checked (203, 204) whether the user terminal (UEA) is defined to use a home network routing function in the visited packet switched network. If the user terminal (UEA) is a roaming user terminal (UEA) roaming in the visited packet switched network and defined to use the home network routing function in the visited packet switched network, the home network routing function is over overridden by performing (209) a forced setup of the call service to a local circuit switched network. |

A system for administering text communications may be configured to determine if an incoming communication that includes text meets any of various criteria and respond based on that determination. A reply may include information based on the criteria or information related to how other messages with the same or similar criteria have historically been handled by a user. Reply communications may be in a different form than that of the incoming communication. Other actions may be taken in addition or instead of replying, including setting calendar reminders or tasks, and sending delegate notifications. Data used for determinations may be collected over time or gathered from external systems. |
