Abstract
A wireless communication device displays network names and accounting names and responsively receives user inputs indicating user-priority for network names and accounting names. The device wirelessly attaches to a first one of the wireless access systems having a first one of network names and a first one of System Identifiers (SIDs) and responsively receives network data characterizing SIDs and BIDs (Billing Identifiers). The device processes the network data characterizing SIDs and BIDs in combination with user-priority for network names and accounting names to determine a second one of SIDs for a second one of the wireless access systems. The device wirelessly attaches to the second one of the wireless access systems having the second one of SIDs, displays the second one of the network names for the second one of the wireless access systems, and wirelessly exchanges user data with the second one of the wireless access systems.
