A method for inter-network communication between a first and second user. The method includes receiving a first request for a location associated with the second user from a first switching system for a first network in response to a second request. The method processes information associated with the first request and determines a network identifier for a second network related to the location associated with the second user, and sends the first switching system a location message, including the network identifier for the second network. The method includes receiving a third request for routing information associated with the second user from a second switching system for the second network. The method determines a location directory in the second network for the second user and receives the roaming information for the second user from the location directory. The method then sends the roaming information to the second switching system.
