Abstract
A method for managing the application mode on a mobile device is provided. Messages containing instructions to change the application mode of a mobile device may be inspected to ensure the message conforms to security policies. The message may be modified to request a confirmation that the application mode has been changed according the instructions in the message. The delivery of the message may be ensured by overriding normal message delivery polices by repeatedly notifying the mobile device that the message is ready for download. The mobile device may update the application mode according to the instructions and send a confirmation message to a designated address.
