Abstract
Methods and devices provide access to a sponsored data service (SDS) via a mobile device. A method may include receiving information identifying attributes to ascertain whether a user qualifies to access sponsored data, where an attribute from the identified attributes may include a position of the mobile device or a time of access to the SDS. The method may include determining parameters associated with the attributes. The method may further include sending the parameters to a validation device, where the validation device determines, based on the parameters, whether the user qualifies to receive sponsored data. The method also includes receiving a network address from the validation device, in response to the validation device determining that the user qualifies to receive sponsored data, and accessing sponsored data from a device associated with the network address.
