The control program operates to select a desired one pair of hardware and firmware drivers for activation programming of the cellular telephone. An input device is connected to the central processing unit, for manually entering data thereinto. A cable connects the central processing unit to the Input/Output data interface bus port of the cellular telephone unit for transferring data therebetween. A modem connects the central processing unit with the authorizing computer of the selected carrier for transferring data therebetween. The control program is adapted to transfer data received manually from the input device and from the cellular telephone to the authorizing computer of the selected carrier, and for receiving data from the authorizing computer of the selected carrier and transferring the received data to the cellular telephone in accord with the selected pair of hardware and firmware drivers for activation programming of the cellular telephone.
