Abstract

A monitoring computer (115) monitors a communication resource within a wireless communication system for transmissions by a communication unit. Upon detecting the transmission, which contains a service request, the monitoring computer compares the service request with stored service access information for the communication unit. When the service request made by the communication unit does not substantially match the stored service access information, the monitoring computer reprograms at least a portion of the service access information of the communication unit. In this manner, discrepancies in communication unit programming may be corrected. In another embodiment, service access information is transmitted to the monitoring computer for comparison.
