A method for enabling a mobile telephone to operate in a communications network, including: generating a random authentication number and an expected response to the random authentication number, and transmitting a forward short message service (SMS) message incorporating the random authentication number to the mobile telephone. The method further includes generating at the mobile telephone, responsive to the random authentication number, an authentication response, and receiving from the mobile telephone a return SMS message incorporating the authentication response. The method also includes performing a comparison between the authentication response in the return SMS message and the expected response, and authenticating the mobile telephone to operate in the communications network responsive to the comparison. |
