Methods and apparatus of over-the-air programming of a wireless unit

A computer-readable storage device comprising computer executable components that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor and a storage device to perform operations, comprising:

• creating a derived verification number based on a first parameter stored in the storage device;
• in response to sending an identifier representing the system directed to a remote device, receiving a verification number from the remote device;
• and
• in response to determining that the derived verification number satisfies a criterion for being similar to the verification number, changing a second parameter stored in the storage device for facilitation of activation of the system on a network device of a wireless network.

A system, comprising:

• a storage device;
• a memory to store instructions;
• and
• a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the instructions to perform operations, comprising:
• determining a first value using first information stored in the storage device;
• sending a first wireless communication comprising an identifier representing the system directed to a device associated with a communication service;
• in response to the sending the first wireless communication, receiving, based on the identifier, a second wireless communication comprising a second value from the device;
• and
• in response to determining that the first value satisfies a condition representing a defined similarity between the first value and the second value, modifying second information stored in the storage device for facilitating reception of a third wireless communication with respect to the communication service.
