Abstract
A mobile subscriber registered with a private enterprise network and a public mobile network is provided with subscriber profile data triggering a serving switch associated with the public mobile network to forward an outgoing call connection request by that mobile subscriber over to the private enterprise network. Subscriber features and services available within the private enterprise network can then be utilized by the mobile subscriber currently roaming within the public mobile network while making outgoing call connections. Such subscriber profile data may be downloaded into the serving switch from a centralized database during its initial registration process.
