Method and system for activating services on a wireless terminal

A wireless terminal, comprising:

• a wireless transceiver for communication via a wireless network;
• a processor coupled to the wireless transceiver;
• a user interface coupled to and controlled by the processor to present information to a user and to receive input from the user;
• and
• a storage device storing a program,
• wherein the program includes instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the wireless terminal to perform functions including functions to:
• automatically initiate communication through the wireless network using a predetermined number, to establish communication between the wireless terminal and a server;
• send identification information that identifies the wireless terminal to the server;
• receive, from the server, service information that indicates one or more available services which are available on or through the wireless terminal corresponding to the identification information;
• display on the wireless terminal a list of the one or more services available for download as a download display;
• upon detecting a selection of an available service from the one or more available services displayed on the wireless terminal through the user interface, send a request to the server;
• download an application program to set up the selected available service;
• execute the application program to display guidance, separate from the download display, that includes information about how to set up the selected available service according to the downloaded application program;
• and
• set up the selected available service in the wireless terminal.

A server for setting a wireless terminal for a service, the server comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a storage device storing a program,
• wherein the program includes instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the server to perform functions including functions to:
• receive a communication from the wireless terminal;
• receive identification information of the wireless terminal;
• find stored customer information corresponding to the identification information;
• determine one or more available services which are available on or through the wireless terminal based on the found customer information;
• send, to the wireless terminal, service information that indicates the one or more services available for download, to be displayed on the wireless terminal as a download display;
• receive a request, from the wireless terminal, that requests an application program to set up a user selected available service selected from the one or more available services;
• and
• send the application program to the wireless terminal, wherein:
• the application program comprises guidance including information about how to set up the selected available service, and
• when the application program is executed on the wireless terminal, the guidance, separate from the download display, is displayed on the wireless terminal.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program, wherein the program includes instructions which, when executed by a processor of a wireless terminal, cause the wireless terminal to perform functions including functions to:

• automatically initiate communication through a wireless network using a predetermined number to establish communication between the wireless terminal and a server;
• send identification information that identifies the wireless terminal to the server;
• receive, from the server, service information that indicates one or more available services which are available on or through the wireless terminal corresponding to the identification information;
• display on the wireless terminal a list of the one or more services available for download as a download display;
• upon detecting a selection of available service from the one or more available services displayed on the wireless terminal, send a request to the server;
• download an application program to set up the selected available service;
• execute the application program to display guidance, separate from the download display, that includes information about how to set up the selected available service according to the downloaded application program;
• and
• send up the selected available services in the wireless terminal.
