Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, embodiments that include accessing a group of user controlled mobile equipment access point names in response to the device detecting a user controlled mobile equipment access point name elementary file (EF_UMEAPN) stored in a memory of a universal integrated circuit card (UICC). An operator stores access point name information and the access point name information comprises the EF_UMEAPN. Further embodiments include configuring the device according to the group of user controlled mobile equipment access point names. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- accessing a group of user controlled mobile equipment access point names in response to the device detecting a user controlled mobile equipment access point name elementary file (EF_UMEAPN) stored in a memory of a universal integrated circuit card (UICC), wherein an operator stores access point name information, wherein the access point name information comprises the EF_UMEAPN;
- configuring the device according to the group of user controlled mobile equipment access point names;
- determining that the EF_UMEAPN is not available from the UICC;
- accessing a group of operator controlled mobile equipment access point names in response to the device detecting an operator controlled mobile equipment access point name elementary file (EF_OMEAPN) stored in the memory of the UICC, wherein the operator stores the access point name information, wherein the access point name information comprises the EF_OMEAPN;
- and
- configuring the device according to the group of operator controlled mobile equipment access point names.

A non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- accessing a group of user controlled mobile equipment access point names in response to the processing system detecting a user controlled mobile equipment access point name elementary file (EF_UMEAPN) stored in a memory of a universal integrated circuit card (UICC), wherein an operator stores access point name information, wherein the access point name information comprises the EF_UMEAPN;
- detecting a first type of service provided by the processing system;
- configuring the processing system according to the group of user controlled mobile equipment access point names and the first type of service;
- determining that the EF_UMEAPN is not available from the UICC;
- accessing a group of operator controlled mobile equipment access point names in response to the processing system detecting an operator controlled mobile equipment access point name elementary file (EF_OMEAPN) stored in the memory of the UICC, wherein the operator stores the access point name information, wherein the access point name information comprises the EF_OMEAPN;
- and
- configuring the processing system according to the group of operator controlled mobile equipment access point names.

A method, comprising:
- accessing, by a processing system including a processor, a group of user controlled mobile equipment access point names in response to the processing system detecting a user controlled mobile equipment access point name elementary file (EF_UMEAPN) stored in a memory of a universal integrated circuit card (UICC), wherein an operator stores access point name information, wherein the access point name information comprises the EF_UMEAPN;
- determining, by the processing system, that the processing system requires a type of service;
- determining, by the processing system, that a network associated with each of the group of user controlled mobile equipment access point names does not support the type of service;
- identifying, by the processing system, an APN associated with a network that provides the type of service resulting in an identified APN.
- updating, by the processing system, the EF_UMEAPN to include the identified APN to the group of user controlled mobile equipment access point names resulting in an updated group of user controlled mobile equipment access point names;
- accessing, by the processing system, the updated group of user controlled mobile equipment access point names;
- configuring, by the processing system, the processing system according to the updated group of user controlled mobile equipment access point names;
- determining, by the processing system, that the EF_UMEAPN is not available from the UICC;
- accessing, by the processing system, a group of operator controlled mobile equipment access point names in response to the processing system detecting an operator controlled mobile equipment access point name elementary file (EF_OMEAPN) stored in the memory of the UICC, wherein the operator stores the access point name information, wherein the access point name information comprises the EF_OMEAPN;
- and
- configuring, by the processing system, the processing system according to the group of operator controlled mobile equipment access point names.
