Systems, methods, and computer program products for managing access to femtocell coverage

A femtocell access system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising
• granting, using a first identifier corresponding to a service to which a communication device is subscribed, the communication device temporary access to a femtocell to facilitate obtaining a second identifier wherein the femtocell is associated with a femtocell coverage area and the communication device is associated with a user,
• obtaining, during the temporary access, the second identifier, the second identifier corresponding to the communication device, wherein obtaining the second identifier comprises an operation selected from the group consisting of:
• receiving, from the communication device, a first second-identifier response comprising a selection of the second identifier selected from a second-identifier list,
• receiving, from the communication device, a second second-identifier response comprising a user-created code to be used as the second identifier, and
• selecting the second identifier from a plurality of unassigned identifiers allocated for assignment to the communication device for access to the femtocell,
• granting the communication device access to the femtocell using the second identifier for communications originating from and terminating within the femtocell coverage area, and
• obtaining a third identifier, wherein the second identifier provides a first femtocell access identification, corresponding to the user of the communication device, for communicating with a first establishment, and wherein the third identifier provides a second femtocell access identification, corresponding to the user of the communication device, for communicating with a second establishment.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage device comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• granting, using a first identifier corresponding to a service to which a communication device is subscribed, the communication device temporary access to a femtocell to facilitate obtaining a second identifier wherein the femtocell is associated with a femtocell coverage area and the communication device is associated with a first user;
• obtaining, during the temporary access, the second identifier, the second identifier corresponding to the communication device, wherein obtaining the second identifier comprises an operation selected from the group consisting of:
• receiving, from the communication device, a first second-identifier response comprising a selection of the second identifier selected from a second-identifier list,
• receiving, from the communication device, a second second-identifier response comprising a user-created code to be used as the second identifier, and
• selecting the second identifier from a plurality of unassigned identifiers allocated for assignment to the communication device for access to the femtocell;
• granting the communication device access to the femtocell using the second identifier for communications originating from and terminating within the femtocell coverage area;
• and
• obtaining a third identifier, wherein the second identifier provides a first femtocell access identification, corresponding to the first user of the communication device, for communicating with a first establishment, and wherein the third identifier provides a second femtocell access identification, corresponding to the first user of the communication device, for communicating with a second establishment.
