FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: for dynamic source determination of provisioning information on an open market wireless communication device, a first input for launching a network service on an open market wireless communication device is received. It is then determined if provisioning information corresponding to the network service is stored on a removable module connected to the wireless communication device; if the provisioning information is determined to be not stored on the removable module, it is determined if provisioning information corresponding to the network service is stored on a non-removable data storage of the wireless device; and if the provisioning information is determined to be not stored on the removable module and the non-removable data storage, a user notification is generated for output on the wireless communication device, wherein the user notification includes instructions for configuring the provisioning information on the wireless communication device.
EFFECT: enabling an open market wireless device and users of such devices to acquire provisioning information for network services in instances in which neither the removable module currently associated with the device or the non-removable memory of the open market wireless device store the provisioning information for the desired network service.
