   Hi @MsOlaAjibola

   It depends on the use case the API is being used for.

   If a mobile device was connected to your network, but the user of that device had disabled mobile data, then what would your API return? If you did not support CONNECTED_SMS, then you could either:

   • return CONNECTED_DATA to indicate that the device was connected the network; or
   • return NOT_CONNECTED to indicate that the device does not have data connectivity?

   Neither response is entirely correct, but may be suitable for the use case intended by the API consumer.

   In practise, checking whether the device has packet switched and/or circuit switched connectivity is not so difficult.

   @MsOlaAjibola @eric-murray : As I do not see impact on code could we transfer this issue in Discussion?
