Abstract

In certain aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a mobile device management (MDM) server from a carrier server, at least one activation code. The at least one activation code is associated with an inactive, organization owned cellular line of service. The method includes enrolling at least one personally owned device with the MDM server as an at least one personally owned, managed device. The method also includes, responsive to the at least one personally owned device being enrolled, transmitting a message to a push notification server, which initiates the at least one personally owned, managed device to communicate with the MDM server. The method includes transmitting, in response to the at least one personally owned, managed device communicating with the MDM server, one activation code of the at least one activation code to the at least one personally owned, managed device. Systems are also provided.

Claims (44)

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, at a mobile device management server from a carrier server, at least one activation code, wherein the at least one activation code is associated with an inactive, organization owned cellular line of service;

enrolling at least one personally owned device with the mobile device management server, wherein, after enrollment, the at least one personally owned device transitions from an unmanaged state to a managed state;

responsive to the at least one personally owned device being enrolled, transmitting a message to a push notification server, wherein the message initiates the at least one personally owned device, in the managed state, to communicate with the mobile device management server; and

response to the at least one personally owned device, in the managed state, communicating with the mobile device management server, transmitting one activation code of the at least one activation code to the at least one personally owned device in the managed state.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one activation code of the at least one activation code is transmitted to the at least one personally owned device, in the managed state, in an app.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating an app comprising the one activation code of the at least one activation code.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one activation code comprises a unique cellular service code and a Subscription Manager-Data Preparation (SM-DP+) Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein implementation of the one activation code of the at least one activation code on the at least one personally owned device, in the managed state, initiates activation of the inactive, organization owned cellular line of service.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one activation code is restricted to a one-time activation of the inactive, organization owned cellular line of service.

7 . A system comprising:

a memory comprising instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to:

receive, at a mobile device management server from a carrier server, at least one activation code, wherein the at least one activation code is associated with an inactive, organization owned cellular line of service;

enroll at least one personally owned device with the mobile device management server, wherein, after enrollment, the at least one personally owned device transitions from an unmanaged state to a managed state;

responsive to the at least one personally owned device being enrolled, transmit a message to a push notification server, wherein the message initiates the at least one personally owned device, in the managed state, to communicate with the mobile device management server; and

responsive to the at least one personally owned device, in the managed state, communicating with the mobile device management server, transmit one activation code of the at least one activation code to the at least one personally owned device in the managed state.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the one activation code of the at least one activation code is transmitted to the at least one personally owned device, in the managed state, in an app.

9 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions which, when executed, further cause the processor to:

generate an app comprising the one activation code of the at least one activation code.

10 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one activation code comprises a unique cellular service code and a Subscription Manager-Data Preparation (SM-DP+) Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

11 . The system of claim 7 , wherein implementation of the one activation code of the at least one activation code on the at least one personally owned device, in the managed state, initiates activation of the inactive, organization owned cellular line of service.

12 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one activation code is restricted to a one-time activation of the inactive, organization owned cellular line of service.

13 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, at a mobile device management server from a carrier server, at least one activation code, wherein the at least one activation code is associated with an inactive, organization owned cellular line of service;

generating a unique code comprising one activation code of the at least one activation code;

enrolling at least one personally owned device with the mobile device management server, wherein, after enrollment, the at least one personally owned device transitions from an unmanaged state to a managed state; and

responsive to the at least one personally owned device being enrolled, transmitting the unique code to another device associated with the at least one personally owned device in the managed state.

14 . The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the unique code is a QR code.

15 . The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the at least one activation code comprises a unique cellular service code and a Subscription Manager-Data Preparation (SM-DP+) Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

16 . The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the unique code is scannable by the at least one personally owned device, in the managed state, for initiating activation of the inactive, organization owned cellular line of service on the at least one personally owned, managed device.

17 . The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the at least one activation code is restricted to a one-time activation of the inactive, organization owned cellular line of service.

18 . A system comprising:

a memory comprising instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to:

receive, at a mobile device management server from a carrier server, at least one activation code, wherein the at least one activation code is associated with an inactive, organization owned cellular line of service;

generate a unique code comprising one activation code of the at least one activation code;

enroll at least one personally owned device with the mobile device management server, wherein, after enrollment, the at least one personally owned device transitions from an unmanaged state to a managed state; and

responsive to the at least one personally owned device being enrolled, transmit the unique code to another device associated with the at least one personally owned device in the managed state.

19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the unique code is a QR code.

20 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the at least one activation code comprises a unique cellular service code and a Subscription Manager-Data Preparation (SM-DP+) Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

21 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the unique code is scannable by the at least one personally owned device, in the managed state, for initiating activation of the inactive, organization owned cellular line of service on the at least one personally owned device in the managed state.

22 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the at least one activation code is restricted to a one-time activation of the inactive, organization owned cellular line of service.
