Abstract
A system, method and device for managing requests for services by a communication device in a communication network are provided. The method comprises: receiving a request for a service provided through the communication network; determining whether an account associated with the device has all features required to access the service; when the all features are not provided by the account displaying a first message on a display of the device indicating that access to the service is denied for the device, identifying alternative accounts for the network, displaying a second message on the display listing the alternative accounts and when a selection is provided of a selected account from the alternative accounts, sending a request to an account manager to update the account to the selected account for the device; and when the selected account is activated for the device providing access to the service.
