Peter Clews Apr 25, 2013:
Register I also think that "register" is more appropriate. The opposite of "dar de alta" is "dar de baja", which means closing down the account. A temporary suspension of the account for lack of payment, such as Jorge suggests, does not imply cancelling the account, so it's not "dar de baja", so reactivating the account is not "dar de alta". Jorge's examples of "activate" refer to activating devices or services (SIM cards, cell phones, roaming, etc), which would normally imply that you have already registered (signed a contract, etc).
Jorge Merino Apr 21, 2013:
In a typical telecom system, providing service to a new customer takes two steps:
1. Registering the customer information in the system (actually in the billing system and the network). The customer record usually contains a lot of parameters, such as commercial data (name, address, account profile, etc.) and services data (services and features to be provided).
2. Once the customer record is created at both the billing and the network sides, the customer (or service) is activated, i.e. now the customer can start making and receiving calls, messages, etc.
If for some reason the customer does not pay for the services, the service is deactivated, but the record is still stored (registered) in the systems in case the customer returns, pays the debts and continues using the services. Hence, the meaning of "dar de alta" in the context of the question is "activate", (i.e. step 2 above), rather than "register" (step 1).

Kerry Taylor Apr 19, 2013:
I agree. As it says "como cliente" I think "register" is more appropriate here.
James A. Walsh Apr 18, 2013:
@Jorge I don't wish to discuss this; I merely asked the asker if they had used this resource before posting the question (because it's been asked many, many times before).
Incidentally, the category is "Telecom(munications) / Telephony", so based on that and the snippet of context provided, I would also think that "register" is more suitable here.
Jorge Merino Apr 18, 2013:
@James, @David
Entries in Kudoz Glossary are mostly related to computer systems, finance, etc., not specific to telecom...
"Activate" is the adequate term in this context.
David Hollywood Apr 18, 2013:
I would say "register" and several entries already in the glossary as James points out
