<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cellular system including remotely programmed mobile stations. <P>SOLUTION: Mobile stations are manufactured in a blank form that causes them to operate only in an inactive state. During activation, information describing the electronic serial number (ESN) of the mobile station 28 is collected along with used area information. A mobile identification number (MIN) is assigned in response to the used area information. A page message is directed to the mobile station 28 operating in its inactive state, but the page message references the ESN of the mobile station 28. A remote programming session is then performed wherein digital user-specific programming data, including the newly assigned MIN, are transmitted to the mobile station 28 over a voice channel using a control channel protocol. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
