    Abstract: Techniques for on-device enrollment of a secondary wireless device in an add-on cellular plan include receiving, at the secondary wireless device, cellular plan information for a cellular plan of a primary wireless device associated with the secondary wireless device. Based on the cellular plan information, the secondary wireless device displays an option to add the secondary wireless device to the cellular plan of the primary wireless device. A selection of the option to add the secondary wireless device to the cellular plan of the primary wireless device is received, and a request is transmitted to the primary wireless device for enrollment information for enrolling the secondary wireless device in an add-on plan of the cellular plan. The enrollment information, which includes a list of available add-on plans for the secondary wireless device or information associated with a provider of the cellular plan, is received at the secondary wireless device.

    Abstract: A mobile device may install and monitor geofences. The application or the operating system (OS) may store a set of geofences. The application or OS may determine the mobile device's current location and generate a first bounding area around the current location. The application or OS may determine the size or radius of the first bounding area such that no more than a specified number of geofences fall inside the first bounding area. The application or OS may monitor the mobile device's location in the first bounding area and determine whether the mobile device exits the first bounding area. In response to determining that the mobile device exits the first bounding area, the application or OS may determine the mobile device's location and generate a second bonding area such that no more than the specified number of the geofences fall inside the second bounding area.

    Abstract: Techniques are directed toward network identification collision detection. An example method includes selecting a first subscriber identity module (SIM) associated with a public land mobile network identifier (PLMN ID) and a network identifier (NID) of a private network. The method can further include generating a first non-access stratum (NAS) registration request to establish a connection with the private network using the first SIM. The method can further include processing a NAS registration request reject message received from the private network. The method can further include selecting a second SIM associated with the PLMN ID and the NID. The method can further include generating a second NAS registration request to establish a connection with the private network using the second SIM. The method can further include processing a NAS registration request success message received from the private network. The method can further include logging NID collision information.
