<p>A method for providing for modification of software in a remote device normally connected to a network comprising embedding an identifier within the software, the identifier comprising an address of an update source. From time to time the remote device sends the embedded code over the network to the update source, the update source being responsive if an update is available. The remote device may be a cellular telephone and the update source is a server accessible through the cellular telephone network. The embedded code may be a telephone number of a server which contains the update source. The remote device sends the server telephone number automatically at predetermined time intervals, and the server responds to the remote device if an upgrade is available. A new embedded code representing a telephone number is included within the update and subsequent calls from the remote device are made to the new number.</p> |
