Patent ID: 8571527

Claim:
A mobile communication device configured to operate within a wireless communication network, the mobile communication device comprising: a processor; a memory device; and a provisioning application stored on the memory device and executable by the processor, when executed by the processor the provisioning application being configured to: generate a provisioning request that identifies a provisioning operation and specifies a first communication service and a second communication service for which the provisioning operation is requested; and cause the mobile communication device to transmit the provisioning request to a provisioning authority over the wireless communication network, wherein the provisioning authority determines whether the second communication service would be affected by the provisioning of the first communication service before provisioning the first communication service; wherein the provisioning request is associated with a first communication service, and the provisioning application is further configured to: receive an indication of whether the first communication service is related to any other mobile communication device communication services; and complete the provisioning request based on a determination that the first communication service is not related to any other mobile communication device communication services; wherein the provisioning application is further configured to receive an alert based on a determination that the first communication service is related to any other mobile communication device communication services; wherein the provisioning application is further configured to receive a response to the alert that includes new provisioning information and add the new provisioning information to the provisioning request; wherein the provisioning request comprises a modify service request, and the new provisioning information specifies how any other related mobile communication device communication services should be modified.
