METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RESTRICTING USAGE AREA OF MOBILE TERMINAL, AND MOBILE TERMINAL

摘要

According to a method and an apparatus for restricting a usage region of a mobile terminal, and a mobile terminal that are provided in the embodiments of the present invention, cell identification information of a cell network that covers a current location of a mobile terminal may be obtained. When the obtained cell identification information includes cell identification information matching locked identification information, the mobile terminal accesses a cell network corresponding to the locked identification information; otherwise, the mobile terminal skips accessing a wireless communications network. In the present invention, the cell identification information of the cell network at the current location is compared with the locked identification information, to control cell network access of the mobile terminal. In the present invention, because a region corresponding to a cell is smaller than that corresponding to a location area code, a usage range of the mobile terminal can be more precisely restricted.
