Abstract: A system and method for detecting enhanced services supported by mobile devices is described. In some cases, the system transmits a message to a called device requesting information about the device. In some cases, the transmitted message is answered by a user of the device. In some cases, the transmitted message is automatically received and answered by the called device. In some cases, the system presents information about a service supported by a called party during a call placed to the party.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting mutually supported capabilities between two or more mobile devices is described. In some cases, the system transmits a message to a called device requesting information about the device. In some cases, the transmitted message is answered by a user of the device. In some cases, the transmitted message is automatically received and answered by the called device. In some cases, the system presents information about a service supported by a called party during a call placed to the party.

Abstract: A system and method of facilitating communications between a mobile device and an interactive voice response system is described. In some cases, the mobile device determines a called number is associated with an IVR system, and performs an action in response to the determination. For example, the mobile device may present visual information to a user related to audio information received from the IVR system. In some cases, the mobile device sends DTMF tones to the IVR system in response to or without user input.

Abstract: A software and/or hardware facility that allows users to enable e-mail on a mobile device in an automated fashion. Using a mobile device, a user selects an e-mail service that they desire to access. An access request is made from the mobile device to a configuration management server. The configuration management server sends an e-mail, SMS message, or other message to the user or to a system administrator with the access request. The user or system administrator is presented with a form that allows the user or administrator to provide sufficient information to enable e-mail service for the mobile device. The configuration management server may store the received information in a database so that the information can be re-used by other mobile device users having the same e-mail domain. The information is transmitted to the mobile device and is used to enable e-mail service on the device.
