The system receives, from a telecommunications network subscribed to by the wireless device, a list of roaming networks. The system connects to a roaming network from the list of roaming networks. The system enters a roaming mode from a standard mode. The roaming mode reduces the amount of data used by the wireless device by preventing the wireless device from performing background tasks. Background tasks include processes performed by the wireless device to keep an application on the wireless device up to date. The standard mode causes the wireless device to operate at a higher data level and a less optimized battery level compared to the roaming mode. The system connects to the telecommunications network. The wireless device disconnects from the roaming network before connecting to the telecommunications network subscribed to by the wireless device. The system enters the standard mode.

System and methods for controlling wireless device functionality when connected to roaming networks

Systems and methods for dynamically managing the states (e.g., enabling/disabling) of telecommunication services/features are disclosed. To do so, the system associates parameters (e.g., timers) with the impacted services/features. For example, when a user experiences issues with voice calls, he/she calls the telecommunications service provider (carrier) to help resolve the issue. A customer care representative may ask the user to temporality turn off the VoNR service to help alleviate the issue. When the user turns off (or toggles off) the VoNR service on his/her mobile device, the system can start a configurable timer (parameter) for the VoNR service. In this manner, the system can replace the conventional toggle on/off feature with a time-based feature. The system monitors the timer's value and when the timer's value reaches a target value (e.g., 24 hours, 1 week, etc.), the system alerts the user that the VoNR service will be turned on (or toggled on).

Dynamic management of telecommunication services at user equipment

A telecommunication system can include routing devices, a bearer-management device, and a policy-management device. The bearer-management device can receive a request from a terminal to create a specialized bearer (SB) for a non-audio, non-video media type. The bearer-management device can determine that the request is associated with an authorized user, and then send a setup message comprising a Quality of Service (QoS) indicator to the policy-management device. The policy-management device can create the SB permitting data exchange between the terminal and a routing device. The SB can have QoS characteristics associated with the QoS indicator. In some examples, the terminal can receive a network address, determine an associated network port, and send a SIP INVITE message indicating the non-audio, non-video media type. The terminal can then exchange data on the network port with a peer network terminal.

A telecommunication system can include routing devices, a Quality of Service (QoS) controller, a policy-management device, and a flow-management device. The QoS controller or flow-management device can receive a request from a terminal to create a specialized flow (SF), e.g., for a non-audio, non-video media type. If the request is associated with an authorized user, a setup message can be sent comprising a QoS indicator. The system can create the SF permitting data exchange between the terminal and a routing device. The SF can have QoS characteristics associated with the QoS indicator. In some examples, the terminal can receive network-address information, determine an associated network resource, and send a flow-request message indicating a non-audio, non-video media type. The terminal can then exchange data on the network port with a peer network terminal.
