Abstract

The disclosure relates to a system and method for managing a profile list for connections to networks for a communication device. The method comprises: maintaining a list of profiles of network connections for the communication device for presentation on a display of the communication device, the list of profiles representing connections to the networks; upon detection of a connection for the communication device to a network, determining whether the connection is in the list of profiles and if the connection is not in the list, establishing a temporary profile with a time condition for the connection and adding the temporary profile to the list of profiles; and removing the temporary profile from the list of profiles when at least the time condition is not satisfied.
