Abstract:
A UE has a subscription to a Home Public Land Mobile Network (H-PLMN) and has a subscription to an Alternative Roaming Provider (ARP) stored in a subscription database. The ARP is adapted to provide a communication service to the subscriber if the subscriber roams into a Visited Public Land Mobile Network (V-PLMN) which is different from the H-PLMN. The method includes registering the UE at a control node of the V-PLMN and sending, by the control node, a request for subscription data to the subscription database. The method further includes: sending, by the subscription database, an indication of the ARP to the control node; generating, by the control node, network identification information, based on the indication of the ARP and the indication of the V-PLMN; and sending, by the control node, the network identification information to the UE.
