One or more network devices comprising:

• one or more processors that are configured to:
• identify a triggering event, wherein the one or more network devices are of a radio access network;
• generate, in response to the identification of the triggering event, a first message that includes first information that relates to a cellular access preference over a non-cellular access for a first end device, wherein the first information includes a dummy tracking area code (TAC) or a dummy public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier;
• and
• transmit the first message to the first end device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor of a network device of a radio access network, wherein the instructions are configured to:

• identify a triggering event;
• generate, in response to the identification of the triggering event, a first message that includes first information that relates to a cellular access preference over a non-cellular access for a first end device, wherein the first information includes a dummy tracking area code (TAC) or a dummy public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier;
• and
