The present invention provides a system and method of modifying policy
settings in a network having a plurality of subscriber devices. An
embodiment includes a plurality of base stations, each capable of
wirelessly transmitting across a geographic region and a server. A
cell-phone, capable of roaming between regions, is operable to establish
a wireless link with the base stations and through the base stations,
with the server. The network contains a communication policy determining
from which other communication devices a subscriber device can receive
voice calls. The communication policy is updated, by the server, based on
requests from the subscriber devices. Once a request is received from a
subscriber device, the determination whether to update the communication
policy can be based on a record of rejections respective to the caller
requested to be blocked. Alternatively, the communication policy can be
updated according to a trust policy maintained on the server respective
to the subscriber device making the request; the trust policy represents
the procedure to follow when a request is received from that subscriber
device.
