Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to selectively accept requests for communication that may be supported by different identification profiles with the selective acceptance being based upon a predefined criteria, such as the cost of the communications. In the context of a method, a request for communications is received from a network operator. The communications with the network operator are supported by a first of a plurality of identification profiles. The method also includes determining, relative to a predefined criteria, whether the communications should be supported by the first identification profile or by another identification profile configured to support communications with another network operator. In an instance in which the communications should be supported by another identification profile, the method causes the request for communications to be denied.
