Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassesH04M 003/00H04Q 007/24 AbstractAn object-oriented over-the-air service provisioning (OTASP) computer program is disclosed. The OTASP program is implemented in a client-server architecture, wherein a plurality of client programs operating, on client platforms in a customer service centers, optionally in diverse geographical locations, communicate with the OTASP computer program. The OTASP computer program communicates with one or more mobile switching centers (MSC's) to process requests from the client programs and to request communication with mobile telephones using an over-the-air interface, in order to accomplish over-the-air service provisioning.Other References
