Abstract: Additional program logic is provided for wireless devices (or embedded transceivers) and for mobile system providers which permits a wireless device and/or associated application to seek out an authorized wireless service provider, register as an authenticated user on that provider's ; system, and initiate conversation, all in a manner transparent to the end user. The search and authentication process alleviates the need to produce, distribute, or stock different devices, transceivers, or program versions of a given product class, in order to correctly register with different wireless providers in different areas of the country.
