A method of switching a network access configuration associated with a
first electronic system to a second electronic system via a network is
described. The first electronic system is inoperable. The second
electronic system replaces the first electronic system such that a user
seamlessly transitions from the first electronic system to the second
electronic system. The user continues to access the network resources
using the second electronic system rather than the first electronic
system. According to an embodiment of the present invention, an
application for switching the network access configuration is invoked
using the second electronic system. During a first phase, the application
transmits first data to a network infrastructure provider. The network
infrastructure provider obtains approval for switching the network access
configuration from the network service provider. If the network service
provider approves switching the network access configuration, the network
infrastructure provider updates its databases such that the network
access configuration of the first electronic system is associated with
the second electronic system. During a second phase, the network service
provider updates its databases such that the network access configuration
of the first electronic system is associated with the second electronic
system if the network infrastructure provider successfully updates its
databases. At the conclusion of the second phase, the second electronic
system can access the network using the network access configuration.
