Adapting Network Policies Based on Device Service Processor Configuration

An end-user device for use with a network system configured to provide access to a network, the network system including an authentication system and one or more network elements, the end-user device comprising:

• a subscriber identity module (SIM) having a service usage cap providing a limited amount of network service usage;
• one or more processors configured to:
• connect the end-user device to the network subject to the service usage cap providing the limited amount of network service usage, wherein the limited amount of networks service usage allows the end-user device to communicate with the authentication system, through the network, to authenticate the end-user device;
• provide, to the authentication system, authentication information for the end-user device to facilitate execution of an end-user device authentication procedure by the authentication system using the authentication information;
• and
• upon successful completion of the end-user device authentication procedure, communicate with the one or more network elements without the service usage cap limiting the amount of network service usage by the end-user device.
