# OMA client provisioning

`com.motorola.android.provisioning`

- OEM
- Replace with alternative

It is a protocol specified by the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA).

It is used by carrier to send “configuration SMS” which can setup network settings (such as APN).

In my case, it was automatic and I never needed configuration messages. I’m pretty sure that in France this package is useless.

Maybe it’s useful if carriers change their APN… but you still can change it manually, it’s not difficult.

Note : These special “confirguration SMS” can be abused.
