Abstract:
A cellular telephone is restricted to using only predetermined cells. The first time (306) the telephone is used, it learns (308) the identity of the cell which services it and stores that identity in the telephone. Thereafter , a request (314) to be serviced by a cell whose identity is not stored in the telephone will be denied (316) unless it is to the service provider or to emergency personnel. If it is to the service provider, then the service provider can determine (318) whether the requested cell should be in the telephone as an approved cell.
