Abstract
Network services and/or network capabilities in a mobile terminal operating in a mobile communications system are selectively enabled. This involves receiving an information element encoded to indicate whether each of a number of network services and/or network capabilities is enabled or disabled. The information element is then stored in the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal is then operated in a way that inhibits the mobile terminal from requesting all network services and network capabilities that are indicated by the information element as being disabled. The information element may optionally include a text string and/or a customer service number to be displayed to a user of the mobile terminal for the purpose of assisting the user in determining the cause of the non-availability of one or more services and/or capabilities.
