Abstract
Systems and methods for facilitating creation of service provider accounts and configuration of devices associated therewith. Device parameters () are transmitted () from a device (). In response, a service activation server () provides () a list of available service providers for that device (), where the list is derived () using the device parameters to identify the appropriate available service providers. The device () enables the user () to select () a listed service provider(s), and communication is redirected () between the device () and the selected service provider () to enable the creation of the service account. The device () can then be configured for use with the established service account. Where a service account already exists for the user (), the user () can provide a service-related identifier () from which the service activation server () can identify an appropriate service account to be configured for use on the device ().
