Provisioning by delivered items

1. A method comprising:

identifying, from a computer-readable memory, provisioning information associated with a specific device;

attaching the provisioning information to a physical item; and

preparing the physical item to be delivered to a location associated with the device,

wherein the device is provisioned with a first application based at least in part on the provisioning information attached to the physical item, and

provisioning the device comprises:

registering the device with a service provider that provides ongoing functionality to the device,

initiating communication between the device and the service provider; and

initiating installation of a second application on the one or more computer readable memories of the device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the provisioning information comprises receiving the provisioning information from a provider of the device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the provisioning information comprises receiving the provisioning information from a provider of a service for the device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the physical item comprises a statement or a bill for the device or a service associated with the device.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein attaching the provisioning information comprises embedding a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag into the statement or the bill, or attaching an RFID tag to the statement or the bill.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the provisioning is triggered based at least in part on one or more of contacting the RFID, identifying the RFID, or receiving a signal from the RFID.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein attaching the provisioning information to the physical item comprises printing a bar code or an image onto the statement or the bill, or attaching the bar code or the image onto the statement or the bill.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the provisioning is triggered based at least in part on scanning or capturing the bar code or the image.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein preparing the physical item to be delivered to the location associated with the device comprises packaging the physical item and mailing the physical item to a user of the device.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein preparing the physical item to be delivered to the location associated with device comprises packaging the physical item.

11. A method comprising:

storing, in one or more computer-readable memories of a device, a first application for processing one or more provisioning triggers;

receiving, by an end user from a service provider, a physical item that contains a provisioning trigger;

processing the provisioning trigger via the first application;

initiating communication between the device and the service provider based at least in part on the provisioning trigger;

initiating installation of a second application on the one or more computer-readable memories of the device based at least in part on the provisioning trigger; and

provisioning the second application of the device with the service provider based at least in part on the provisioning trigger, such that the second application is configured to facilitate an ongoing service provided by the service provider, wherein provisioning the second application includes hardware information associated with the device.

12. A system comprising:

at least one memory having encoded thereon computer-executable instructions; and

at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to:

identify, from a computer-readable memory, provisioning information associated with hardware of a device;

attach the provisioning information to a physical item; and

prepare the physical item for delivery to a location associated with the device hardware,

wherein the device is provisioned with a service provider based at least in part on the provisioning information attached to the item, and

provisioning the device comprises:

registering the device with the service provider, the service provider providing ongoing functionality to the device,

initiating communication between the device and the service provider; and

initiating installation of a second application on the one or more computer readable memories of the device,

such that the device is configured to facilitate a service from the service provider that provides ongoing functionality to the device.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the computer-executable instructions to identify the provisioning information comprise instructions to receive the provisioning information from a provider of the device.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the computer-executable instructions to identify the provisioning information comprise instructions to receive the provisioning information from a provider of a service for the device.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the physical item comprises a statement or bill for the device or a service associated with the device.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the computer-executable instructions to attach the provisioning information comprise instructions to embed a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag into the statement or bill, or attaching an RFID tag to the statement or bill.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the device is provisioned at least in response to contacting the RFID, identifying the RFID, or receiving a signal from the RFID.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the computer-executable instructions to attach the provisioning information comprise instructions to print a bar code or image onto the statement or bill, or attaching a bar code or image onto the statement or bill.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the device is provisioned at least in part to scanning or capturing the bar code or image.

20. The system of claim 12 , wherein the computer-executable instructions to prepare the physical item to be delivered to the location associated with device comprises either instructions to package the physical item and mail the physical item to a user of the device; or instructions to package the physical item.
