disconnect an active ICW session and data connection and to prevent
establishment of a subsequent data connection. In an exemplary

number having the active ICW session and data connection. The calling
party may enter an authorized code that authorizes disabling of ICW and
the data connection. The interrupt code entered by the calling party is
received in a telecommunications network, such as, for example the Public
