Method for roaming management in a mobile radio unit, infotainment system for a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for roaming management in a mobile radio unit having a memory in which are stored a plurality of different individually activatable identity profiles,said identity profiles comprising different options for the mobile radio unit to access different mobile radio networks, the method comprising the acts of:
- automatically checking a suitability of a currently active identity profile according to prescribed rules andtaking into account a current position of the mobile radio unit, and making a decision about whether to switch to a currently inactive identity profile,wherein the decision about whether to switch to the currently inactive identity profile takes into account an estimated movement destination of the mobile radio unit which differs from the current position of the mobile radio unit, andwherein a navigation destination active in a navigation unit that is functionally coupled to the mobile radio unit is used as the estimated movement destination that is taken into account.

Abstract
A method is provided for roaming management in a mobile radio unit, in the memory of which a plurality of different individually activatable identity profiles are stored. The identity profiles includes different options for the mobile radio unit to access different mobile radio networks. In the method, the suitability of a currently active identity profile is automatically verified according to predefined rules and taking into account the current position of the mobile radio unit, and a decision is made as to whether a switch to a currently inactive identity profile should be made. An estimated destination of the mobile radio unit is additionally taken into account when making a decision about switching profiles.
