1. A method for Internet Protocol communication from a communications server to a wireless terminal, the method comprising:
- receiving data for communication to the wireless terminal, the data is received at the communications server;
identifying an unavailability of Internet Protocol connectivity with the wireless terminal;
determining an availability of an out-band messaging mechanism with the wireless terminal;
initiating a delivery of a message for establishing an Internet Protocol connection with an access network to the wireless terminal in response to a determination that the Internet Protocol connection is unavailable;
establishing the Internet Protocol connection with the wireless terminal via the access network; and
transferring the data to the wireless terminal, wherein the wireless terminal is configured to enter a periodic polling mode in an absence of a previously established Internet Protocol connection and an unavailability of the out-band messaging mechanism with the communications server.
