Abstract
A method for associating a mobile electronic device with a preexisting subscriber account includes capturing a matrix barcode image presented on a display by a first device. The matrix barcode image is encoded with first device identification data that identifies the first device. The first device identification data is associated with a preexisting subscriber account stored in a subscriber database. The method further includes extracting the first device identification data from the matrix barcode image, and obtaining mobile device identification data that identifies a mobile electronic device. The method further includes transmitting a message to a device manager server, the message including the first device identification data, the mobile device identification data and a request to associate the mobile device identification data with the preexisting subscriber account associated with the first device identification data.
