The method for assigning a personalized indicium to a mobile communications device as recited in claim 1, wherein said at least one of a device identifier comprises an Electronic Serial Number (ESN) parameter corresponding to said mobile communications device. 6. The method for assigning a personalized indicium to a mobile communications device as recited in claim 1, wherein said at least one of a device identifier comprises a Mobile Identification Number (MIN) parameter corresponding to said mobile communications device. 7. The method for assigning a personalized indicium to a mobile communications device as recited in claim 1, wherein said at least one of a device identifier comprises an Internet Protocol (IP) address corresponding to said mobile communications device. 8. The method for assigning a personalized indicium to a mobile communications device as recited in claim 1, wherein said temporary PIN is generated randomly by a logic module integrated with said mobile communications device. 9. The method for assigning a personalized indicium to a mobile communications device as recited in claim 1, wherein said temporary PIN is generated based on hashing said at least one of a device identifier and a subscriber identifier by a logic module integrated with said mobile communications device. 10. The method for assigning a personalized indicium to a mobile communications device as recited in claim 1, wherein said temporary PIN is generated randomly within a select range of numbers by a logic module integrated with said mobile communications device. 11. The method for assigning a personalized indicium to a mobile communications device as recited in claim 1, wherein said request is validated by a provisioning system coupled to said network node. 12. The method for assigning a personalized indicium to a mobile communications device as recited in claim 1, further comprising disassociating said permanent PIN from said mobile communications device if said mobile communications device fails to execute a successful registration procedure within said pending time window. 13. A mobile communications device, comprising: means operable to locally generate a temporary Personal Information Number (PIN) for transmitting in a request for assignment of a personalized indicium, said request being directed to a network node operable with a wireless network; and means operable to execute a registration procedure with said network node using said personalized indicium upon receipt thereof, said personalized indicium comprising a permanent PIN assigned to said mobile communications device that is provided via a response by said network node, wherein said response includes a pending time window associated with said permanent PIN, and further wherein said means operable to execute said registration procedure includes means for executing a successful registration procedure within said pending time window. 14. The mobile communications device as recited in claim 13, wherein said wireless network comprises a network selected from the group consisting of a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network, an Enhanced Data Rates for Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) Evolution (EDGE) network, a 3rd Generation (3G) network, an Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (IDEN), a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network and a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network. 15. The mobile communications device as recited in claim 13, wherein said request for assignment of a personalized indicium includes at least one device identifier comprising an International Mobile station Equipment Identity (IMEI) parameter that corresponds to said mobile communications device. 16. The mobile communications device as recited in claim 13, wherein said request for assignment of a personalized indicium includes at least one subscriber identifier comprising an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) parameter that corresponds to a user of said mobile communications device. 17. The mobile communications device as recited in claim 13, wherein said request for assignment of a personalized indicium includes at least one device identifier comprising an Electronic Serial Number (ESN) parameter that corresponds to said mobile communications device. 18. The mobile communications device as recited in claim 13, wherein said request for assignment of a personalized indicium includes at least one device identifier comprising a Mobile Identification Number (MIN) parameter that corresponds to said mobile communications device. 19. The mobile communications device as recited in claim 13, wherein said request for assignment of a personalized indicium includes at least one device identifier comprising an Internet Protocol (IP) address that corresponds to said mobile communications device. 20.
