The solution enhances the security of new wireless device setups is enhanced by the verification of the geographic location of the new device upon network attachment against the one or more known subscriber locations, or locations associated with the network subscriber that is expected or intended to be operating the new device. These locations can include a home address recorded in subscriber profile information stored by the telecommunications network, for example. If a mismatch is detected, a security alert is sent to the network subscriber's current wireless device, enabling confirmation whether it is the network subscriber that is attempting to use and set up the new device.
