Abstract
A system for self-activation of a portable device on a wireless network includes a first server that receives a first message from a particular portable device with a unique identifier that indicates the device type of the device that is at least one of a first type or a second type of portable device. A second message comprising data including the device type corresponding to the portable device is sent to a second server. The second server sends an activation message in response to receiving the second message when the device type determined is the first type; and the second server sends the activation message after a delay interval that is longer than a boot-up sequence time when the device type determined is the second type. The activation message prompts the user to activate the device for use on the wireless network.
