An apparatus and method is disclosed for configuring a mobile radio station device (12) (e.g., a cellular telephone (12)) when the mobile radio station device or "mobile station" is initially configured for service. The present invention comprises an apparatus and method for downloading initial operational parameters to a mobile station (12) using a radio link (14). The initial operational parameters are downloaded using a data call connection formed with the mobile station (12). A data message, such as a Short Message Service (SMS) message, is sent to the mobile station (12). The data message requests the mobile station (12) to initiate a data call connection with a node-device (28) that contains (or has access to) the initial operational parameters. The mobile station (12) forms a data call connection with the node-device (28) and receives the initial operational parameters. |
