Abstract

Embodiments described herein relate to mechanisms for error recovery during transfer of cellular service credentials between two mobile wireless devices. Transfer of credentials includes communication between a source device, a target device, and/or one more network-based servers. Authentication can be based on one or more tokens obtained by the source device and provided to the target device. Error recovery can include using redirection to different servers, providing alternative information for authentication, and storage and subsequent retrieval of information to restart or complete a credential transfer process.
