The identifier may be an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI). The filter may be a whitelist containing a plurality of IMSIs to be granted service or a blacklist containing a plurality of IMSIs to be denied service, the service request may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) attach request, and the method may further comprise forwarding the message from the first UE to a first mobility management entity (MME) in the first core network.
