Cookies differentiate users and maintain data related to a user during navigation. Cookies are used for activities such as authenticating, session tracking, and maintaining specific information about users. An embodiment receives a first access request from a mobile device that corresponds to a first attempt by the mobile device to access the mobile network. The mobile device is authenticated using a set of authentication credentials provided by the mobile device. A gateway cookie is created that includes a second set of authentication credentials associated with the mobile device. The gateway cookie is provided to the mobile device and stored on the mobile device. A second access request, received from the mobile device, includes the gateway cookie and the second access request corresponds to a second attempt by the mobile device to access the mobile network. The mobile device is authenticated using the gateway cookie.

Computer media, systems, and methods for blocking subscriber network access and managing subscriber network access are provided. A subscriber account, having an associated wireless device with a network identifier, is determined to be in payment default. An updated network identifier that reflects the default status is assigned and transmitted to the wireless device. Subsequent requests for network access from the wireless device will be redirected to a bill payment website, at least in part because the updated network identifier indicates that the subscriber account associated with the wireless device is in payment default.
