Abstract
Computer media, systems, and methods for blocking subscriber network access and managing subscriber network access are provided. A subscriber account, having an associated wireless device with a network identifier, is determined to be in payment default. An updated network identifier that reflects the default status is assigned and transmitted to the wireless device. Subsequent requests for network access from the wireless device will be redirected to a bill payment website, at least in part because the updated network identifier indicates that the subscriber account associated with the wireless device is in payment default.
