Abstract
A method for enabling services and functionalities across device types and service providers within a communication device includes processing a first device function type, a first service type, and a first cost function from the device, obtaining a first firmware and communicating the first firmware to the communication device for execution, activating a first set of service enabling instructions to enable a first service and a first functionality associated with the first firmware when the first firmware is executed on the communication device, processing a second device function type, a second service type, and a second cost function from the device, obtaining a second firmware to be executed on the device, communicating the second firmware to the device, and activating a second set of service enabling instructions to enable a second service and a second functionality associated with the second firmware when the second firmware is executed on the device.
