A method for a communications device to access service information associated with a service identifier, the method comprising:
at the device (12):
generating a request for service information, the request including an identifier (ServID);
at a server remote (80) from the device:
receiving the request;
processing the request to extract an identifier (ServID);
performing a look-up operation based on said identifier which retrieves at least authentication information (AuthCode) which was generated remotely from the device to uniquely configure access by the device to service information associated with said service identifier;
presenting said authentication information and said service identifier to a service platform via which said service information is retrievable;
at the service platform (32):
processing the request to extract said service identifier and said authentication information;
verifying that the authentication information and service identifier match equivalent data values stored in association with service information, and if so:
sending service information (ServInfo) to said requesting device.
