Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for initiating a user selected service, which makes use of a packet data connection, in conjunction with establishing the packet data connection. The method includes receiving a request to initiate a user selected service, which uses a packet data connection, prior to the establishment of the packet data connection. An activation request is then sent for establishing a packet data connection, the activation request includes user selected service parameters for use in defining a user selected service. The user selected service is then initiated as part of establishing the packet data connection. The apparatus includes a processor coupled to a user input for receiving a request to initiate a user selected service and a transceiver for communicating with a network. The processor includes a connection module adapted for establishing a packet data connection via the transceiver. The connection module has a user service initiation module for initiating the user selected service as part of establishing a packet data connection.
