Patent ID: 8620319

Claim:
A system, comprising: a memory to store executable instructions; and a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the executable instructions to perform operations, comprising: detecting a handoff event comprising a mobile device having been registered on an Internet protocol capable network access device and having transitioned to a non-Internet protocol capable network access device, determining a handoff frequency with which the mobile device transfers connection from Internet protocol capable network access devices to non-Internet protocol capable network access devices; selectively masking an availability of an Internet protocol dependent mobile service via a user interface of the mobile device in response to the handoff frequency being determined to satisfy a condition defined by a function, wherein the function relates the handoff frequency to a reliability metric of the Internet protocol dependent mobile service; and outputting, via the user interface of the mobile device and in response to the handoff frequency being determined to satisfy the condition, an indication that support for the Internet protocol dependent mobile service is limited relative to defined full support.
