Claim 10:
11. A system for selectively configure a mobile network access comprising:
a user equipment (UE) transmitting a request to access to a mobile network, said request including a configuration profile embedded therein, wherein the configuration profile comprises profile information for configuring a network address translation (NAT) selection;
a mobile network configuration server for the mobile network configured for receiving the request from the UE for accessing the mobile network;
wherein the mobile network configuration server is configured to identify the configuration profile embedded in the request from the UE, wherein the configuration profile comprises 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 configuration comprises a last update configuration indicating a data on which the different access configurations were last updated on the UE by the mobile network, and wherein at least one of the plurality of connection preferences is to be selected, by the mobile network configuration server, for the UE when connecting to the mobile network configuration server;
in response to identifying, the mobile network configuration server configured to compare capabilities of the mobile network configuration server with the configuration profile;
in response to the comparing, when the capabilities of the mobile network configuration server supporting the plurality of connection preferences:
the mobile network configuration server is configured to select one of the plurality of the connection preferences for the mobile network access by the UE wherein the mobile network configuration server is configured to connect the UE to the mobile network according to the selecting, wherein the selected connection preference is different from a static table showing a list of connections based on Mobile Country Codes (MCC), Mobile Network Codes (MNC) or network access types dictated by the mobile network configuration server; and
in response to the comparing, when the capabilities of the mobile network configuration server supporting the plurality of connection preferences:
the mobile network configuration server is configured to send a prompt to the UE to choose a default configuration after denying the request.
