Claim 5:
6. A computer-implemented method for selectively configure a mobile network access comprising:
transmitting a mobile network access request from a user equipment (UE) to a mobile network configuration server, wherein the mobile network access request is embedded with a configuration profile therein, said configuration profile comprising a plurality of connection preferences to be selected, by the mobile network configuration server, for the UE when connecting to the mobile network configuration server, wherein the plurality of connection preferences correspond 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 the plurality of connection preferences 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;
causing the mobile network configuration server to compare capabilities of the mobile network configuration server with the configuration profile;
receiving a response from the mobile network accepting the request when the capabilities of the mobile network configuration server support the plurality of connection preferences, wherein the response comprises: a connection with a mobile network configuration server after the mobile network configuration server analyzed the configuration profile embedded in the request from the UE and determined, in response to capabilities of the mobile network configuration server, to select one of the plurality of the connection preferences for the mobile network access before connecting the UE to the mobile network; and
receiving a response from the mobile network denying the request when the capabilities of the mobile network configuration server do not support the plurality of connection preferences, wherein the response comprises: a prompt to the UE to choose a default configuration after the mobile network configuration server denied the request.
