Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating enforcement of PRL restrictions are provided. The method includes receiving a registration request from a user device. The registration request includes a device identifier that identifies the user device and a network identifier that identifies a network selected for use. The device identifier is used to reference a list of networks permitted for use or prohibited for use by the user device. Thereafter, it is determined that the network selected for use by the user device is unauthorized based on a comparison of the network identifier that identifies the network selected for use to the list of networks permitted or prohibited for use by the user device. Based on the determination that the network selected for use by the user device is unauthorized, the user device is prevented from utilizing the selected network for voice or data services.
