Patent ID: 7215754

Claim:
A profile management method comprising: maintaining, at a service control point (SCP), multiple predefined profile sets for a telecommunications device in a communication network, each predefined profile set defining a respective configuration of multiple services to which the telecommunications device subscribes; receiving, at a mobile switching center (MSC), a request from a user to make a given one of the predefined profile sets an active set for the telecommunications device, and forwarding the request from the MSC, via a signaling network, to the SCP; and at the SCP, responsively making the given predefined profile set an active set for the telecommunications device, wherein the multiple services to which the telecommunications device subscribes are implemented on a plurality of platforms in the communication network; and making the given profile set the active set comprises signaling from the SCP to the plurality of platforms and responsively executing logic to update respective local profiles for the telecommunications device on the plurality of platforms, wherein executing the logic provisions the multiple services in correspondence with the active set.
