Abstract
A mobile handset in a mobile services network, with access to a plurality of services, including a firmware/software update service, receives update notifications. The notifications indicate the availability of update packages, and, in response, the mobile handset confirms the authenticity of the received update notifications before initiating a download of an associated update package from a management server or delivery server in the mobile services network. The notifications may be managed and sent by an authorized user from a management console. One or more delivery servers may be employed to dispense update packages to a plurality of mobile handsets.
