a computer the addresses and authentication codes required for network and node access etc can then be downloaded to memory 204 within wireless terminal 106 in some other embodiments a call is placed by the new subscriber to a phone number that is associated with the content provider the requisite addresses and authentication codes are then provided to the subscriber during the call the protocol also dictates when during the day or night wireless terminal 106 establishes a session with node 110 1 to receive the pre selected content the timing of the session can be based on a time of day an elapsed time etc wireless terminal 106 obtains timing information from an internal clock or more typically from routine control messages that it receives from the wireless network the timing protocol is also maintained in memory 204 processor 202 initiates the telecommunications session with node 110 1 based on the timing criteria and using the addresses and authentication codes stored in memory 204 more particularly wireless terminal 106 transmits the addresses and codes which is received by a base station e g base station 104 1 104 2 or 104 3 etc the receiving base station relays the information to wireless switching center 102 upon receipt of the information and with the knowledge that it is intended for node 110 1 wireless switching center 102 launches the information e g via modem etc into network 108 for node 110 1 at task 308 the pre selected content is downloaded directly to wireless terminal 106 from node 110 1 in the context of this specification the term u201c directly u201d means that the content is downloaded from node 110 1 to wireless.
