A procedure is provided wherein a serving general packet radio service (GPRS)
support
node (SGSN) enables a mobile station to access point name (APN) to which the mobile
station is not subscribed wherein the SGSN makes a determination if the requested
packet data protocol and APN received from the mobile station are the same as those
to which the mobile station is subscribed. In the event that the mobile station
is not subscribed to the PDP type and requested APN, the SGSN informs the mobile
that APN requested is not authorized and if the mobile station desires to continue
it must agree to the terms and conditions and to provide credit (or debit) card
information in order to obtain the requested APN.
