A wireless communication network serves a wireless data service to a wireless User Equipment (UE). In the wireless communication network, a network controller receives a service request from the wireless UE. The network controller responsively indicates the service request to a Unified Data Management (UDM). The UDM receives the indication. The UDM identifies provisioned service values for the wireless UE. The UDM retrieves updated service values for the wireless UE. The UDM identifies a set of the provisioned service values that correspond to the updated service values. The UDM generates new provisioned service values by overriding the set of the provisioned service values based on the updated service values. The UDM transfers new provisioned service values to the network controller. The network controller receives the new provisioned service values. The network controller serves the wireless UE based on the new provisioned service values.

A method of operating a terminal device to establish a radio resource control connection with network infrastructure equipment in a wireless telecommunications network, wherein the terminal device is associated with a previously-allocated temporary identifier that identifies the terminal device within the wireless telecommunications network; the method comprising: transmitting a first message to the network infrastructure equipment comprising an indication of a first portion of the temporary identifier; and transmitting a second message, which is separate from the first message, to the network infrastructure equipment comprising an indication of a second portion of the temporary identifier.

Methods and systems for controlling permissions of a UE for accessing a network. A method disclosed herein includes initiating, by a User Equipment (UE), a registration procedure with a serving network for accessing a selected network, wherein the selected network includes one of at least one CAG cell of an NPN and a VPLMN. The registration procedure indicates a network selection mode using which the UE has selected the network and the network selection mode includes one of an automatic mode and a manual mode. The method further incudes determining, by the serving network, a reject mode for rejecting the registration request of the UE based on the network selection mode indicated in the registration request, when the permissions of the UE to access the selected network have not been verified, wherein the reject mode includes a protected reject mode and an unprotected reject mode.
