In some examples, an electronic device includes a plurality of network interfaces to communicate over respective different networks, and a storage medium to store information associating a first application of the electronic device with a first profile, and associating a second application of the electronic device with a second profile. The first profile selects a first network interface of the plurality of network interfaces to use for communications, and the second profile selects a second network interface of the plurality of network interfaces to use for communications.

Different profiles for selecting different network interfaces for communications of an electronic device

A method and system for enabling one or more communication services on a wireless device are provided. The method comprises: sending a request for provisioning information from a carrier provisioning system to a device developer provisioning system; receiving, from the device developer provisioning system, secure provisioning information corresponding to the request; and sending the secure provisioning information corresponding to the request from the carrier provisioning system to the wireless device.

Method and system for secure provisioning of a wireless device

Methods and systems for managing a pool of subscriber identities, and wirelessly provisioning mobile devices to use one or more of the subscriber identities when a subscriber is roaming on a different network. When a subscriber's mobile device connects to a visited network, a subscriber identity server can be notified. The subscriber identity server may have access to a plurality of available subscriber identities (e.g., registered to various service providers), and may select a suitable subscriber identity matching the subscriber's visited network. The subscriber identity can be communicated to the subscriber's mobile device, which can be reprogrammed to assume the new subscriber identity.

Methods and systems for subscriber identity management in a mobile device

A communications system includes a mobile wireless communications device, a trusted server, and a plurality of host servers. A given one of the host servers is in communication with the mobile wireless communications device. The given host server is configured to generate and send a redirection request to the mobile wireless communications device, the redirection request requesting the mobile wireless communications device to communicate with an other one of the host servers. The mobile wireless communications device is configured to send the redirection request to the trusted server, and the trusted server configured to send the redirection request to the mobile wireless communications device based upon verification of the redirection request.

Communications system including trusted server to verify a redirection request and associated methods

A communications system includes a service provider device, a mobile wireless communications device, and a plurality of communication infrastructure nodes. The plurality of communication infrastructure nodes are configured to generate an association mismatch communications path between the service provider device and the mobile wireless communications device, the association mismatch communications path including at least two communication infrastructure nodes in series. The plurality of communications infrastructure nodes are also configured to generate a corrected association communications path between the service provider device and the mobile wireless communications device from the mismatch communications path, the corrected association communications path including just a single communication infrastructure node from the at least two communication infrastructure nodes.

Communications system configured to correct an association mismatch and related methods

A method, system and apparatus for routing of data transmitted from a mobile electronic device to a first host of a plurality of hosts in a communication network using a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is provided. It is determined, at a network element having a same address as a first host of a plurality of network hosts, that the first host has failed via receipt of BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) rerouted data, the BGP rerouted data originally transmitted to the first host from a communication device. A negative acknowledgement (NACK), identifiable as having been transmitted by the network element, is transmitted to the communication device to trigger the communication device to transmit data that was to be transmitted to the first host to another of the plurality of network hosts.

Route reflector for a communication system

A method, system and apparatus for routing of data transmitted from a mobile electronic device to a first host of a plurality of hosts in a communication network using a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is provided. It is determined that the first host has failed via receipt of BGP rerouted data at least one network element, the BGP rerouted data originally intended for the first host. A negative acknowledgement (NACK) is transmitted to the mobile electronic device from the at least one network element, the NACK enabled to trigger the mobile electronic device to transmit data that was to be transmitted to the first host to another of the plurality of hosts and wherein the NACK is identifiable by the mobile electronic device as having been transmitted by the at least one network element.
