Abstract: Application management for a mobile device. In an embodiment, identifier(s) of a mobile device are received over a network. A determination is made as to whether the mobile device has installed a software application based on the identifier(s). When the mobile device is not determined to have installed the software application, a Short Message Service (SMS) message is initiated for providing access to the software application to the mobile device. The access to the software application is provided to the mobile device via the SMS message. After the software application is provided to the mobile device, a determination is made as to whether the mobile device has installed the software application, and, when the mobile device is not determined to have installed the software application, reminder(s) are initiated to the mobile device. Each reminder may comprise an SMS message.

Abstract: Optimized offloading of wireless devices to alternative wireless networks. In an embodiment, a sector is determined to be busy based on measurement report(s) associated with the sector, wherein the measurement report(s) indicate at least one performance characteristic of the sector. When the sector is determined to be busy, it is determined whether sector(s) of an alternative network, which overlaps with the sector of the home network, are busy based on at least one performance characteristic of the sector(s) of the alternative network. When the sector of the home network is determined to be busy and the sector(s) of the alternative network are not determined to be busy, transmission of an instruction to offload wireless device(s), connected to the home network within the sector of the home network, to at least one of the sector(s) of the alternative network, is initiated.
