A communications device comprising:
- a processor configured to execute instructions to:
- implement a service profile executed at least in part in a secure execution environment, the service profile for assisting control of usage by the communications device of a service over the wireless network, wherein the service profile includes one or more service policy settings, and wherein at least one of the one or more service policy settings is configured to assist in controlling access to the service over the wireless network;
- and
- monitor an attempted or successful use of the service over the wireless network;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with the instructions.
A method for use by a communications device, the method comprising:
- implementing a service profile executed at least in part in a secure execution environment, the service profile for assisting control of usage by the communications device of a service over the wireless network, wherein the service profile includes one or more service policy settings, and wherein at least one of the one or more service policy settings is configured to assist in controlling access to the service over the wireless network;
- and
