A communication apparatus includes a user signal transmission unit that transmits a user signal required for an end user to perform communication; a manager function implementing unit that implements a function provided to a manager of the present apparatus; a license monitoring unit that monitors a license of the present apparatus, and outputs a function limitation signal when the license has expired; and a function limitation unit that limits the function implemented by the manager function implementing unit when receiving the function limitation signal. In a communication apparatus that transmits a user signal required for an end user to perform communication, a function of the apparatus is limited when a relevant license has expired, while preventing an influence of the limitation upon the end user.

Various technologies described herein pertain to controlling migration of a source endpoint in a source telephony system to a destination endpoint in a destination telephony system. The source endpoint is deactivated and the destination endpoint is activated as part of the migration. The migration of endpoints between the source telephony system and the destination telephony system can be performed in an individualized manner. Source information that specifies a state of the source endpoint is retrieved from the source telephony system and destination information that specifies a state of the destination endpoint is retrieved from the destination telephony system. Moreover, a validation is performed concerning whether the source endpoint is migratable to the destination endpoint based on the source information and the destination information. Subsequent to validating that the source endpoint is migratable to the destination endpoint, the migration is performed to deactivate the source endpoint and activate the destination endpoint.

A computer system for provisioning voicemail. The system comprises a processor, a non-transitory memory, and a voicemail provisioning application. Upon execution by the processor, the provisioning application receives a request to create a voicemail account associated with a first phone number, creates a voicemail account comprising a first voicemail box, assigns a voicemail account identifier associated with an identity of the subscriber, and transmits the voicemail account and first voicemail box to a voicemail system, wherein the voicemail account identifier is used to reference the voicemail account. The application further receives a request to create a voicemail account associated with a second phone number of the mobile communication device, determines that a voicemail account associated with the mobile communication device already exists, creates a second voicemail box, and transmits the second voicemail box to the voicemail account identified by the voicemail account identifier.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method comprising caching, by a server comprising a processor, a subscriber profile in a network repository to create a cached subscriber profile. The cached subscriber profile comprises a replica of stored subscriber data. The method also comprises updating the cached subscriber profile in accordance with subscriber use of a first application from a first application provider to produce a first updated version of the cached subscriber profile. The method further comprises updating the first updated version of the cached subscriber profile in accordance with subscriber use of a second application from a second application provider to produce a second updated version of the cached subscriber profile. The first and second updated versions of the cached subscriber profile are accessible by the first application provider and by the second application provider. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Implementations of the present invention contemplate utilizing the communicative connections between a telematics service provider (TSP), a communication device, and a telematics unit in a vehicle to manage personalized information of a subscriber. Implementations contemplate the removal of personalized information of a subscriber from data stores located at a vehicle, the uploading of personalized information of a subscriber to a database of an operations control center of the TSP, and the downloading of personalized information of a subscriber by a telematics unit of a vehicle from an operations control center of the TSP. Implementations enable personalized information of a subscriber to be removed from a vehicle remotely in order to prevent a user of the vehicle from accessing personalized information of the subscriber. Furthermore, implementations enable personalized information of a subscriber to be accessed by a vehicle in order to provide a subscriber with a customized experience in the vehicle.

A device provides, to a mobile user device, an instruction to increase a partition of a memory of the mobile user device, based on a determination that the mobile user device will not receive future software updates. The partition of the memory is accessible to a user of the mobile user device. The instruction causes the mobile user device to increase a storage space for the partition by a particular amount, and generate an indication of the increased partition. The device receives the indication of the increased partition.

A mobile core network with distributed data services is provided. The mobile core network includes distributed mobile cores associated with mobile data service (MDS) agents at distributed data centers. A central MDS agent is host at a central data center providing legacy mobility management entity (MME) functions. The central MDS agent and the MDS agents at the distributed data centers coordinate with each other for synchronizing context information, such as subscriber data, session context data and metrics data of UEs, so that the context information is available at the central data center and the distributed data centers when or before it is requested.

A system is provided in which portable electronic devices may be provided to people for accessing services in mass quantities. Each portable electronic device, which may be a tablet, may be configured in advance with one or more service programs and an authentication process. The tablet may also include cellular data access and/or paired peripheral devices. Such pre-configuration may provide subsequent ease of use and/or guarantee compatibility with a provider's server. A device control module on the tablet may communicate with a device manager on a server to monitor progress of the service program. If data values associated with the service program, such as measurements and/or transferred content, fail to meet a threshold within a period of time, the device control module may implement an action on the device to encourage the user, such as triggering repetitive alerts, disabling cellular access, disabling system applications, and the like.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for implementing a caller identifier are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving, by a server and from a user of a computing device, data indicating a request to update a name that corresponds to a phone number in a caller identification information storage. The actions further include accessing, by the server, a calling history that indicates previous telephone calls of the phone number. The actions further include accessing, by the server, identification data of the user. The actions further include based on the calling history that indicates previous telephone calls of the phone number and the identification data of the user, determining whether to update the caller identification information storage to indicate that the name corresponds to the phone number.
