Abstract
Within a mobile station data message, the mobile transceiver reads an observed country code of a visited wireless network to determine a country of operation of the mobile transceiver. The mobile transceiver determines if the observed country code is equal to a stored country code in a subscriber identity module of the mobile transceiver. If the observed country code differs from the stored country code, the mobile transceiver transmits an inquiry data message to a central server via the wireless network to inquire as to whether or not the mobile transceiver is authorized to operate within the observed country. In response to the inquiry, the mobile transceiver may receive mobile profile data related to wireless access or authorized features of the mobile transceiver.
