A method for providing user-apparent consistency in a wireless user device is presented. An IP address, or other unique identifier, is assigned to a wireless user device in wireless communication with a wireless application server. The IP address is associated with a communication session between the wireless user device and the wireless application server. The IP address, along with information related to the communication session, such as context information, is stored by the wireless application server, such as in an active session cache. The wireless user device may then rejoin the communication session in the event the wireless communication is temporarily dropped and re-established between the wireless user device and the wireless application server, without losing the assignment of the IP address to the wireless user device or any information stored for the IP address in the active session cache.
