METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR TEMPORARILY PERMITTING A WIRELESS DEVICE TO ACCESS A WIRELESS NETWORK

Various arrangements for temporarily enabling the wireless device for use on a wireless network are presented. A computer system may store a plurality of international mobile subscriber identities (IMSIs) and, associated with each IMSI of the plurality of IMSIs, an indication of a period of time of a predefined length. An authentication request indicating an IMSI of the plurality of IMSIs may be received from a wireless device, wherein the wireless device has not previously been authenticated in association with the IMSI. The IMSI may be authenticated for use on the wireless network. After authorizing the IMSI for use on the wireless network device, the period of time of the predefined length associated with the IMSI may be determined to have expired. In response to determining the period of time of the predefined length associated with the IMSI has expired, the IMSI may be deauthorized for use on the wireless network.
