1. A wireless end-user device comprising:
a wireless modem configured to enable data communications to support a plurality of network service activities over a wireless network; and
a processor configured to:
classify each of the plurality of network service activities of the wireless end-user device into one of a plurality of categories including a controlled network service activity, a non-controlled network service activity, and a disallowed network service activity;
disallow the data communications through the wireless modem when first one or more of the plurality of network service activities are classified as the disallowed network service activity;
allow the data communications through the wireless modem when second one or more of the plurality of network service activities are classified as the non-controlled network service activity; and
regulate the data communications through the wireless modem when third one or more of the plurality of network service activities are classified as the controlled network service activity;
wherein classifying the first one or more of the plurality of network service activities as the disallowed network service activity is based at least in part on a lack of a user interaction with the wireless end-user device for a previously elapsed period of time.
