Abstract
A method and apparatus for preventing the fraudulent access of a mobile terminal is disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a user profile defining particular behaviors which are allowed by the mobile station in response to the initiation of certain types of calls. Control logic associated with the user profile determines, in response to the initiation of a telephone call, if the behavior required by the requested telephone call would comprise an allowed behavior as defined by the user profile. The control logic then grants or denies continuation of the call based upon this comparison.
