1. A system for provisioning an update to a feature associated with a rate plan of a brand of a wireless communication network, comprising:
the wireless communication network;
a billing system computer associated with the wireless communication network; and
a network provisioning engine associated with the wireless communication network and in communication with the billing system computer, the network provisioning engine including a processor, a memory, and a communication circuit, the processor being configured according to computer-executable instructions for:
receiving, from the billing system computer, a transaction request associated with an account of a subscriber to the rate plan, the transaction request including a brand indication of the brand, a unique identifier associated with the subscriber's account, and an old definition for a feature of the rate plan,

determining whether the transaction request meets the trigger condition, and
if the transaction request meets the trigger condition,
