Controlling communications

An apparatus in a radio access network, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code,
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to
• determine that a data connection of an access point name or data network name of the user terminal does not fulfil a data allowance condition;
• transmit to a network unit maintaining information on subscriber information of users of the network a message on the basis of determination, the message indicating that the data connection of the access point name or data network name is to be directed to a predetermined server;
• after a given number of redirection, responsive to determining that the data connection still does not fulfil the data allowance condition if the data connection still does not fulfil the data allowance condition, transmit a request to deactivate the access point name or the data network name;
• and
• responsive to determining that the data allowance condition is fulfilled, transmit to the network unit a message indicating that the access point name or the data network name is to be activated.

A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium readable by a computer and comprising program instructions which, when loaded into an apparatus, execute a method comprising:

• determining that a data connection of an access point name or data network name of the user terminal does not fulfil a data allowance condition;
• transmitting to a network unit maintaining information on subscriber information of users of the network a message on the basis of determination, the message indicating that the data connection of the access point name or the data network name is to be directed to a predetermined server;
• after a given number of redirection, responsive to determining that the data connection still does not fulfil the data allowance condition if the data connection still does not fulfil the data allowance condition, transmitting a request to deactivate the access point name or the data network name;
• and
• responsive to determining that the data allowance condition is fulfilled, transmitting to the network unit a message indicating that the previously deactivated access point name or the data network name is to be activated.
