Abstract
A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an cellular preference service. The cellular preference service may include a network-side service that manages cellular access preference relative to non-cellular access offload for end devices. The cellular preference service may transmit information to the end devices that may be used to override or direct use of cellular access when non-cellular access is available. The cellular preference service may include an end device side service that manages cellular access preference relative to non-cellular access offload based on the information received from the network.
