Why don't you just remove the settings file and restart oFono?

I'm not so sure that this is a good idea.  A 'live' reset of the 
settings just seems wrong to me.  Why would you ever want to do that 
anyway?  If something is working, why bother resetting the settings?

oFono supports arbitrary number of contexts, so your UI can always add 
more.  So if you need to re-provision, let your UI handle this.  The UI 
should be capable of reading the provisioning database anyway in order 
to handle duplicates, etc.
