System and method for activating a terminal (7) connectable to a first
network (1). An activation module (6) is connected to a second network
(5) on the one hand and to the terminal on the other hand and can activate
the terminal after receiving an activation code. The activation module might also
activate a connection between the terminal and the server, while the server might
further activate the terminal. If the second network (5) passes on to the
activation module (6) an identifier (e.g. CLI) of the node via which the
server (2) connects to the second network, the activation module can activate
the terminal in various ways in accordance with the value of the recorded identifier.
The server (2) can connect to the network via nodes with various identifiers.
The activation code can also comprise notification messages or other messages (for
example SMS), which the server (2) sends directly to the user terminal (7)
via the activation module (6).
