Activation communication addresses of internet of things devices

A method of provisioning wireless communication service to wireless communication devices, comprising:

• allocating a plurality of telephone numbers to a first plurality of wireless communication devices by an activation management application executing on a computer system;
• receiving requests for an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) provisioning data bundle from the first plurality of wireless communication devices, wherein each request identifies an associated one of the first plurality of wireless communication devices by a corresponding one of the plurality of telephone numbers;
• transmitting an eSIM provisioning data bundle in a short message service (SMS) message to each of the first plurality of wireless communication devices based on the corresponding one of the plurality of telephone numbers;
• deallocating the plurality of telephone numbers from the first plurality of wireless communication devices by the activation management application based on the transmitting of eSIM provisioning data bundles to the first plurality of wireless communication devices, wherein deallocating the plurality of telephone numbers from the first plurality of wireless communication devices comprises deleting an association between each telephone number and an associated one of the first plurality of wireless communication devices in a data store and adding each deallocated telephone number to a free telephone number table in the data store;
• allocating the plurality of telephone numbers to a second plurality of wireless communication devices by the activation management application, wherein allocating the plurality of telephone numbers to the second plurality of wireless communication devices comprises deleting each of the plurality of telephone numbers from the free telephone numbers table in the data store and adding an association between each telephone number and an associated one of the second plurality of wireless communication devices in the data store;
• receiving requests for an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) provisioning data bundle from the second plurality of wireless communication devices, wherein each request identifies an associated one of the second plurality of wireless communication devices by a corresponding one of the plurality of telephone numbers;
• and
• transmitting an eSIM provisioning data bundle in a SMS message to each of the second plurality of wireless communication devices based on the corresponding one of the plurality of telephone numbers, whereby a single telephone number is leveraged by two different wireless communication devices at two different times.

A method of provisioning wireless communication service to wireless communication devices, comprising:

• allocating a plurality of telephone numbers to a first plurality of wireless communication devices by an activation management application executing on a computer system, where the first plurality of wireless communication devices are a first type of device;
• allocating the plurality of telephone numbers to a second plurality of wireless communication devices by the activation management application, wherein the second plurality of wireless communication devices are a second type of device;
• receiving requests for an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) provisioning data bundle from the first plurality of wireless communication devices, wherein each request identifies an associated one of the first plurality of wireless communication devices by a corresponding one of the plurality of telephone numbers;
• provisioning the first communication network routing node to route SMS messages addressed to the plurality of telephone numbers to the first plurality of wireless communication devices;
• transmitting an eSIM provisioning data bundle in a short message service (SMS) message to each of the first plurality of wireless communication devices by a first communication network routing node based on the corresponding one of the plurality of telephone numbers;
• receiving requests for an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) provisioning data bundle from the second plurality of wireless communication devices, wherein each request identifies an associated one of the second plurality of wireless communication devices by a corresponding one of the plurality of telephone numbers;
• provisioning the second communication network routing node to route SMS messages addressed to the plurality of telephone numbers to the second plurality of wireless communication devices;
• and
• transmitting an eSIM provisioning data bundle in a SMS message to each of the second plurality of wireless communication devices by a second communication network routing node based on the corresponding one of the plurality of telephone numbers, wherein the first communication network routing node routes SMS messages to wireless communication devices of the first type of device and the second communication network routine node routes SMS messages to wireless communication devices of the second type of device, whereby a single telephone number is leveraged by two different wireless communication devices that are of two different device types.
