Abstract: A method and corresponding system for causing a de-authorized or decommissioned wireless communication device (WCD) to refrain from initiating communications with one or more services and/or servers in a wireless communication system. The WCD may be configured for communicating with a wireless communication system via (i) air interface access with a radio access network (RAN) having a dedicated backhaul connection to the wireless communication system, and (ii) a wireless access device providing a communication link to at least one intermediate network in a communication path to the wireless communication system. In response to the WCD detecting a threshold number of consecutive failed attempts to gain air interface access via the RAN, the WCD would disable at least one computer application from attempting to initiate communications with the wireless communication system via the wireless access device.
