  • Patent number: 10834576
    Abstract: A system is described that can perform a method for providing a first mobile network operator system with information relating to configuration data. The configuration data enables management of content and memory allocation for security domain containers of a universal integrated circuit card of a communication device. Security management of the universal integrated circuit card is delegated by providing the configuration data to a second mobile network operator system to enable management of the content and the memory allocation for the security domain containers. The memory allocation is adjusted by the second network mobile operator system according to a second group of services provided to the communication device.

  • Publication number: 20160330599
    Abstract: A method for managing voicemail messages for a visual voicemail system can include establishing a secure data session between a voicemail system and a mobile device. The voicemail system can receive a voicemail message that is directed to a voicemail account associated with a voicemail subscriber. The voicemail system can generate a notification message and can send the notification message to the mobile device that is associated with the voicemail account that received the voicemail message. In response to the notification message, the mobile device can generate and send a first request for voicemail message header information. The voicemail system can send the requested voicemail message header information to the mobile device and, in response, receive a second request for at least one voicemail message. The voicemail message can send at least a portion of the at least one voicemail message to the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 9210558
    Abstract: A method for updating voicemail data at least partially stored at a device can include obtaining a command to update the voicemail data at a device. The device can activate a data session through which voicemail data can be downloaded to the device. In some embodiments, the device can automatically activate a data session upon the occurrence of a trigger event, for example, upon the receipt of a message waiting indicator, or upon powering on the device. In other embodiments, the device can wait for a user action or command to download voicemail data. The action or command can be received at the device after a trigger event, or at any other time. Exemplary devices and communications networks for implementing these and other embodiments are disclosed.
