Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, storing, in a UICC memory of a communication device, access point name information associated with a plurality of access point names to be selectively utilized by a device processor of the communication device for wireless communications, and providing the device processor with access to the access point name information in the UICC memory to enable the device processor to establish the wireless communications. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A method, comprising
- facilitating, by a device including a processing system, establishing wireless communications utilizing default access point name information;
- receiving, by the device, a wireless provisioning message from a server via the wireless communications, wherein the wireless provisioning message includes provisioned access point name information associated with an access point name, and wherein the server does not adjust the provisioned access point name information based upon a type of radio access module utilized by the device;
- and
- storing, by the device, the provisioned access point name information in a memory of a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) that is connected to the device, wherein subsequent wireless communications utilize the provisioned access point name information.
A server, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- receiving, from a wireless communication device, a provisioning request that includes default access point name information;
- and
- transmitting, to the wireless communication device, a wireless provisioning message, wherein the wireless provisioning message includes provisioned access point name information associated with an access point name configured to facilitate wireless communications, wherein the wireless communication device utilizes a type of radio access module, and wherein the server does not adjust the provisioned access point name information based upon the type of radio access module.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor of a wireless communication device, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- detecting connection of a second Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) with the wireless communication device replacing a first UICC;
- responsive to the detecting of the connection of the second UICC, receiving a wireless provisioning message from a server, wherein the wireless provisioning message includes provisioned access information, and wherein the server does not adjust the provisioned access information based upon a type of radio access module used by the first UICC;
- and
- storing, in the second UICC, the provisioned access information to facilitate subsequent wireless communications.
