1. A method of controlling packet data connectivity in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
a node of the wireless communication network receiving, from a user equipment, an indication that a limitation of volume charged packet data services is required for the user equipment; and
depending on the received indication, the node preventing transmission of packet data traffic associated with the volume charged packet data services and allowing transmission of packet data traffic associated with one or more other packet data services;
wherein the node receives the indication in at least one of:
(A) a procedure for attaching the user equipment to the wireless communication network; and
B) a procedure for configuring packet data network connectivity between the user equipment and the wireless communication network.
