Abstract
A mechanism to control wireless connectivity of a wireless communication device (WCD) with an access node on a carrier. When within coverage provided by the access node on the carrier, the WCD receives a system message broadcast by the access node on the carrier, the system message carrying data that represents an operational parameter for service on the carrier. Further, the WCD makes a first determination that the WCD is unable to interpret the data that is carried by the received system message and makes a second determination that the received system message flags the data as being critical to service on the carrier. And in response to at least a combination of the first and second determinations, the WCD forgoes connecting with the access node on the carrier.
