Abstract: A method and apparatus for configuring an application at a device in a communications network. A server receives a request message from the device. The request message includes information that identifies the application, and further information relating to either or both of the device type or a network operator associated with the device. The further information is sued by the server to obtain specific configuration information relating to the application. A response is sent to the device, the response including the obtained specific configuration. The specific configuration information is subsequently be used by the device to configure the application.
