Claims28
A mobile communication device having characteristics defined with a classmark, comprising:
- a processor, and
- a communication module coupled to the processor, wherein the mobile communication device is adapted to permit a first wireless network to modify the classmark to alter how the mobile communication device interacts with a second wireless network with the communication module.
A method of interacting with a first network and a second network with a portable communication device, comprising:
- modifying a classmark of the portable communication device with the first network.
A method comprising:
- polling a portable communication device from a first network to determine the classmark of the portable device;
- and
- modifying the classmark of the portable communication device with a command from the first network.
The method of clam 19, wherein modifying the classmark includes changing what services are available to a user from a second network.
An article comprising a storage medium having stored thereon instructions, that, when executed by a computing platform, results in:
- polling a portable communication device from a first network to determine the classmark of the portable device;
- and
- modifying the classmark of the portable communication device with a command from the first network.
