Data session authentication credentials update for a wireless communication device
First Claim
1. A method in a wireless portable communication device for use in accessing a common data application for a data service with a service network which is external to a plurality of wireless networks, the method comprising:
- receiving a data session configuration file which includes a list of the plurality of wireless networks mapped against authentication credentials associated with each one of said wireless networks, each said authentication credentials specifying a bearer path for accessing the data service and being different for each one of said wireless networks;
in response to a change in subscription for the wireless portable communication device from a first wireless network to a second wireless network;
communicating with the second wireless network;
selecting, from the list, one of said authentication credentials that is associated with the second wireless network;
using the selected authentication credentials comprising the specified bearer path for establishing a data session via the second wireless network; and
accessing, via the second wireless network using the data session, the common data application with the service network which is external to the second wireless network.

Abstract
Techniques in a wireless device for use in accessing a common data application with a service network which is external to a plurality of wireless networks are described. The device receives a data session configuration file which includes a list of the plurality of wireless networks mapped against authentication credentials associated with each wireless network. The device communicates with a current one the wireless networks. The device selects from the list one of the authentication credentials that is associated with the current wireless network. The device submits, via the current wireless network, the selected authentication credentials for establishing a packet data session via the current wireless network. The device then accesses, via the current wireless network using the packet data session, the common data application with the service network which is external to the current wireless network.
