Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for selectively configure a mobile network access comprising:
receiving, by a mobile network configuration server, a request from a user equipment (UE) for access to a mobile network, the request including a configuration profile associated with the UE;
identifying, by the mobile network configuration server, a plurality of connection preferences corresponding to different access configurations in the configuration profile, at least some of the different access configurations correspond to different circuits in the UE and at least one of the different access configurations comprises a last update configuration indicating a date on which the different access configurations were last updated on the UE by the mobile network; and
comparing, by the mobile network configuration server, capabilities of the mobile network configuration server with the plurality of connection preferences;
when the comparing indicates that the capabilities of the mobile network configuration server support the plurality of connection preferences, selecting one of the plurality of the connection preferences for the mobile network access before connecting the UE to the mobile network according to the selected one of the connection preferences, wherein the selected connection preference is different from a static table showing a list of connections based on a Mobile Country Codes (MCC), Mobile Network Codes (MNC) or network access types dictated by the mobile network configuration server; and
when the comparing indicates that the capabilities of the mobile network configuration server do not support the plurality of connection preferences, denying the request and sending a prompt to the UE to choose a default configuration after denying the request.
