Method and system for application provisioning

A device, comprising:

• a memory to store instructions;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein responsive to executing the instructions, the processor performs operations comprising:
• compiling a list of potential target users of an application existing on a user device of a source subscriber;
• filtering the list of potential target users by removing a portion of the potential target users from the list of potential target users based on target subscriber subscription information, target subscriber device capability, target subscriber identity module capability, potential target user eligibility, or any combination thereof, thereby generating a list of remaining target users;
• and
• transmitting a message to a device of a target user on the list of remaining target users notifying the target user that the target user is enabled to perform a self-install procedure for the application and thereby provision the device of the target user with the application,
• wherein the application, upon being provisioned, is available for execution on the device of the target user,
• wherein the user device of the source subscriber is different from the device of the target user,
• wherein the list of potential target users is compiled based on a previous use of the application or attempt to use the application by the source subscriber, and
• wherein the potential target user eligibility is based on a status of the potential target user as a post paid user, as a reseller, or as belonging to a predetermined market or enterprise.

A machine-readable storage device, comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• compiling a list of potential target users of an application existing on a user device of a source subscriber;
• filtering the list of potential target users by removing a portion of the potential target users from the list of potential target users based on target subscriber subscription information, target subscriber device capability, target subscriber identity module capability, potential target user eligibility, or any combination thereof, thereby generating a list of remaining target users;
• and
• transmitting a message to a device of a target user on the list of remaining target users notifying the target user that the target user is enabled to perform a self-install procedure for the application and thereby provision the device of the target user with the application,
• wherein the application, upon being provisioned, is available for execution on the device of the target user,
• wherein the message comprises a personalized invitation to use the application,
• wherein the user device of the source subscriber is different from the device of the target user, and
• wherein the potential target user eligibility is based on a status of the potential target user as a post paid user, as a reseller, or as belonging to a predetermined market or enterprise.
