An apparatus and method set up an interface in a mobile terminal. The method includes: storing an interface setup application including customized data unique to countries and operators; determining whether a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card is inserted into the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is powered on; detecting a Mobile Country Code (MCC) and a Mobile Network Code (MNC) included in the SIM card, if the SIM card is inserted into the mobile terminal; executing the interface setup application and searching for customized data corresponding to the detected MCC and MNC from among the customized data unique to countries and operators; and installing an interface of the mobile terminal based on the searched customized data.

Apparatus and method for setting up an interface in a mobile terminal

Determining a mobile operator for a mobile device. The mobile operator is determined using one or more of an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) and a current operator name (CON) and service provider name (SPN) pair. Correlations between the IMSI and mobile operators, and between the CON/SPN pairs and mobile operators, are maintained. Correlations between unrecognized CON/SPN pairs and mobile operators are created based on a quantity of requests received from the mobile devices. In some embodiments, identifying the mobile operator enables financial transactions by the mobile device when visiting, for example, a mobile applications store.

Determining mobile operators for mobile devices

There is disclosed a system and method for blocking a device from a carrier network. In an embodiment, the method comprises defining an unauthorized combination filter including one or more device parameters; attaching the unauthorized combination filter to a carrier; comparing the device parameter values in the unauthorized combination filter to device parameter values stored in the device; and if the device parameter values stored in the device match the device parameter values in the unauthorized combination filter, then blocking the device from accessing the carrier network. The device parameter values stored in the device may include one or more of a device type value, a device operating system version value, and a device application version value, and the method further comprises comparing these one or more values to corresponding device parameter values defined in the unauthorized combination filter. The unauthorized combination filter may be attached to a carrier by providing a carrier identifier.

Blocking devices from a carrier network

The invention relates to a cellular network device (10, 20), which transmits a subscriber identifier (MSI, MSI') to the network in order to verify rights to communicate via the network (4). The device (10, 20) obtains (E11) first information related to the positioning thereof (P1). The device also obtains (E12) second positioning information (P1). A comparison (E13) is made between the first positioning information (P1) and the second positioning information (P2). The device transmits a modified identifier (MSI') during a modification step (E14), or a non modified identifier (MSI) on the basis of the results of the comparison.

Method for inhibiting communication between a device and a network

The present invention relates to a mobile communication system, it discloses a method for restricting the terminal to predetermined area or operator, it can efficiently ensure the terminal supplied by the operator to be used in the assigned area or network, and prevent the unreasonable usage. Within the present invention, pre-set the operator information and the home location information, after the terminal start-up, determining if the terminal locates in the preset network of the preset operator, and determining if the currently located area is the preset home location, only when it is the same as the preset operator information and within the special area can the terminal to be used.

A method for restricting the terminal to predetermined area or operator

A method for locking a terminal home, which may ensure that in a preferential activity of the network operator, a gift, discounted or rented terminal may be used when it is limited in a designated area or network, so that “sales across regions” in the prior art may be prevented. According to the embodiments of the invention, network operator information and home information related to a terminal are preset. After the terminal starts up, whether the terminal is within the preset network of the network operator is determined, and whether the current home is the preset home is determined. The terminal may only be used normally in the preset network of the network operator and in a specific area.
