Network-based power up of a mobile unit

摘要

A registered powered down condition is established in a mobile unit. A call directed to the mobile unit is determined to be associated with an authorized calling number. The mobile unit is powered up in response to the call if the call is associated with the authorized calling number. A switch maintains the mobile unit in the registered powered down condition and determines if the call directed to the mobile unit is associated with a profile associated with the mobile unit. The switch powers up the mobile unit if the call is associated with the profile.
