## Abstract

A cellular network system comprises a device identifier comparator and a connection enable indicator. A device identifier comparator for comparing a received device identifier with one of a plurality of stored device identifiers, wherein the one of the stored plurality of stored device identifiers is associated with a stored subscriber identifier. A connection enable indicator for indicating whether a connection from a cellular device associated with the received device identifier to a data network associated with the cellular network system should be enabled.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cellular network system, comprising:
a device identifier comparator for comparing a received device identifier with one of a plurality of stored device identifiers, wherein the one of the stored plurality of stored device identifiers is associated with a stored subscriber identifier; and
a connection enable indicator for indicating whether a connection from a cellular device associated with the received device identifier to a data network associated with the cellular network system should be enabled.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A cellular network system as in claim 1, wherein the received device identifier is based at least in part on information in a username field.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A cellular network system as in claim 1, wherein the received device identifier is based at least in part on information in a password field.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A cellular network system as in claim 1, wherein the received device identifier is associated with a received subscriber identifier.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

A cellular network system as in claim 4, wherein the received subscriber identifier is based at least in part on information in a username field.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

A cellular network system as in claim 4, wherein the received subscriber identifier is based at least in part on information in a password field.

### Claim 7 (depends on 4)

A cellular network system as in claim 4, wherein the received subscriber identifier is encoded.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

A cellular network system as in claim 1, wherein the device identifier comparator determines one of the following: that the received device identifier is the same as the one of the plurality of stored device identifiers or that the received device identifier is not the same as the one of the plurality of stored device identifiers.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

A cellular network system as in claim 8, wherein the connection enable indicator indicates the connection should be enabled based at least in part on the determination of the device identifier comparator.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

A cellular network system as in claim 8, wherein the connection enable indicator indicates the connection should be enabled based at least in part on a set of rules.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

A cellular network system as in claim 10, wherein the set of rules indicates whether a received device identifier is to be stored.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

A cellular network system as in claim 10, wherein the set of rules indicates whether a received device identifier is not to be stored.

### Claim 13 (depends on 10)

A cellular network system as in claim 10, wherein the set of rules indicates whether a storing of a received device identifier is to be logged.

### Claim 14 (depends on 10)

A cellular network system as in claim 10, wherein the set of rules indicates whether a storing of a received device identifier is not to be logged.

### Claim 15 (depends on 10)

A cellular network system as in claim 10, wherein the set of rules indicates whether the connection is to be allowed.

### Claim 16 (depends on 10)

A cellular network system as in claim 10, wherein the set of rules indicates whether the connection is to be denied.

### Claim 17 (depends on 10)

A cellular network system as in claim 10, wherein the set of rules indicates whether the allowance of the connection is to be logged.

### Claim 18 (depends on 10)

A cellular network system as in claim 10, wherein the set of rules indicates whether the denial of the connection is to be logged.

### Claim 19 (depends on 10)

A cellular network system as in claim 10, wherein the set of rules indicates whether a received device identifier is whether an alert is to be sent.

### Claim 20 (depends on 10)

A cellular network system as in claim 10, wherein the set of rules indicates whether an alert is to be logged.
