Access control based on receipt of defined information from access terminal

An apparatus for communication, comprising:

• a memory component configured to maintain a defined dial code comprising a combination of dialing numbers and dialing symbols at an enforcement point for an access point, wherein the defined dial code is kept secret and only shared with selected access terminals;
• and
• an access controller configured to determine that the access point received a call that is based on the defined dial code and is received from one of the selected access terminals that is not currently allowed to obtain a service through the access point, wherein the one of the selected access terminals provides the defined dial code to the access point via a selected access terminal dial pad during the call;
• wherein the access controller is further configured to allow the selected access terminal to obtain the service through the access point as a result of the reception of the defined dial code during the call and adding an identifier of the selected access terminal to an access control list for the access point.

A non-transitory computer-program product, comprising:

• computer-readable medium comprising code for causing a computer to:
• maintain a defined dial code comprising a combination of dialing numbers and dialing symbols at an enforcement point for an access point, wherein the defined dial code is kept secret and only shared with selected access terminals;
• determine that the access point received a call that is based on the defined dial code and is received from one of the selected access terminals that is not currently allowed to obtain a service through the access point, wherein the one of the selected access terminals provides the defined dial code to the access point via a selected access terminal dial pad during the call;
• and
• allow the selected access terminal to obtain the service through the access point as a result of the reception of the defined dial code during the call and adding an identifier of the access terminal to an access control list for the access point.
