Abstract

A method and device are disclosed for determining optimized wireless service for a wireless device. The method including displaying on a display of the device a graphical user interface having a prompt to input information, wherein the information comprises at least one of the following: where a wireless user uses their wireless device, where the wireless user calls to with their wireless device, amount of voice usage, amount of data usage, and amount of text message usage, receiving the information into the graphical user interface displayed on the display of the device, transmitting the information from the device to a server, receiving in the device optimized wireless service information from the server, and displaying the optimized wireless service information in the graphical user interface on the display of the device.

storing in a non-transitory memory of the server a wireless service optimization application,

wherein the wireless service optimization application is implemented in the server and the server is configured to render a webpage to provide the graphical user interface on the display of the device.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the device comprises the wireless device, the method further comprising:

storing in a non-transitory memory of the wireless device a wireless service optimization application,

wherein the wireless service optimization application is implemented in the wireless device and the wireless device is configured to render the graphical user interface on the display of the device.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

simulating the wireless service with the server based on the information that includes where the wireless user uses their wireless device, where the wireless user calls to with their wireless device, the amount of voice usage, the amount of data usage, and the amount of text message usage.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

determining a cost of various wireless service plans with the server in response to the simulation based on the information that includes where the wireless user uses their wireless device, where the wireless user calls to with their wireless device, the amount of voice usage, the amount of data usage, and the amount of text message usage.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

determining a lowest cost wireless service with the server in response to the simulation based on the information that includes where the wireless user uses their wireless device, where the wireless user calls to with their wireless device, the amount of voice usage, the amount of data usage, and the amount of text message usage.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising

displaying on the display of the device the graphical user interface that further includes display of a geographic map; and

receiving an indication in conjunction with the geographic map the information that includes where the wireless user uses their wireless device and where the wireless user calls to with their wireless device.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising

displaying on the display of the device the graphical user interface that further includes an input feature; and

receiving with the input feature a weightage of wireless usage for at least one of the following: where the wireless user uses their wireless device and where the wireless user calls to with their wireless device.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

simulating the wireless service with the server based on the information that includes where the wireless user uses their wireless device, where the wireless user calls to with their wireless device, the amount of voice usage, the amount of data usage, and the amount of text message usage;

determining a cost of various wireless service plans with the server in response to the simulation based on the information that includes where the wireless user uses their wireless device, where the wireless user calls to with their wireless device, the amount of voice usage, the amount of data usage, and the amount of text message usage; and

determining a lowest cost of the wireless service with the server in response to the simulation based on the information that includes where the wireless user uses their wireless device, where the wireless user calls to with their wireless device, the amount of voice usage, the amount of data usage, and the amount of text message usage.

11 . A device configured to provide wireless service optimization comprising:

a display of the device configured to display a graphical user interface having a prompt to input information, wherein the information comprises at least one of the following: where a wireless user uses their wireless device, where the wireless user calls to with their wireless device, an amount of voice usage, an amount of data usage, and an amount of text message usage;

the graphical user interface displayed on the display of the device being configured to receive the information;

the device further configured to transmit the information to a server;

the device further configured to receive optimized wireless service information from the server; and

the device and display configured to display the optimized wireless service information in the graphical user interface on the display of the device.

12 . The device according to claim 11 , wherein the device comprises at least one of the following: a wireless device and an internet enabled device.

13 . A system comprising the device according to claim 12 , wherein the device comprises the internet enabled device, the system further comprising:
