Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device, including a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of determining network capacity to provide an enhanced experience to user equipment running an application; determining whether the user equipment features can provide the enhanced experience, wherein the determination is based in part on capability, location and subscription status; and responsive to a determination of adequate network capacity and adequate user equipment features, offering the enhanced experience through the application. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Mobile device application for procuring network services

A method and non-transitory computer readable medium for providing an access to a tethering service via an endpoint device are disclosed. For example, the method detects an attempt to access a non-network monitored service at an endpoint device, determines whether the endpoint device is authorized to access the non-network monitored service by sending a query to a service provider network, and provides an access to the non-network monitored service if the endpoint is authorized.

Method and apparatus for providing an access to a tethering service via an endpoint device

Information is provided via a table displayed on a mobile communication device listing contacts in one column and icons representing various communication modes in other columns. Contact list members' associations with communication modes are indicated by attributes assigned to icons rendered via the display of the mobile communications device. Example communication modes include instant messaging, push to talk, voice communications, and email. Icon attributes can indicate a member's subscription status to a particular communication mode, a member's availability (online/offline) for a particular communication mode, and a member's preferred communication mode. The user can scroll through the table to view communication mode information about members on the contact list. The user can initiate communications via a selected communication mode by selecting an icon, or selecting a row and column of the table, being rendered on the display of the mobile communications device.

Communication mode via mobile communications device

A method and non-transitory computer readable medium for providing entitlement control via an endpoint device are disclosed. For example, the method detects an attempt to access a non-network monitored service at an endpoint device, determines whether the endpoint device is authorized to access the non-network monitored service by sending a query to a service provider network, and provides an access to the non-network monitored service if the endpoint is authorized.

Method and apparatus for entitlement control via an endpoint device

A portable diagnostic device (PDD) for diagnosing packet-based wireless networks. the PDD comprises an input device configured to convert user input into electrical signals, a radio frequency (RF) transceiver, an antenna, processing logic, a modem, and a display device. The processing logic is configured to execute a diagnostic software module that generates diagnostic commands for diagnosing a packet-based network and that interprets diagnostic information sent from the packet-based network to the PDD. The modem enables the PDD to wirelessly communicate via the RF transceiver and the antenna with a base transceiver station (BTS) that is in communication with the packet-based network. The display device displays diagnostic information received by the RF transceiver and processed by the processing logic. The diagnostic information displayed on the display device describes one or more attributes of the packet-based network.
