Roaming arrangement
First Claim
1. A method of arranging roaming in a telecommunications system comprising at least one wireless local network, at least one public land mobile network, and at least one wireless terminal equipment comprising means for setting up a data transmission connection at least with the local network, the method comprising:
- determining, in the telecommunications system, public land mobile network identifiers and network element identifiers linked with said public land mobile network identifiers, transmitting said public land mobile network identifiers and the network element identifiers linked therewith to the terminal equipment, selecting a public land mobile network by means of a comparison of said received public land mobile network identifiers and public land mobile network identifiers contained in the terminal equipment, and providing the terminal equipment with access via the local network to the network element determined by the network element identifier linked with the identifier of the selected public land mobile network.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method of arranging roaming in a telecommunications system comprising a local network, at least one public land mobile network, and a terminal equipment. In the telecommunications system, public land mobile network identifiers and network element identifiers linked therewith are defined. These public land mobile network identifiers and the network element identifiers linked therewith are transmitted to the terminal equipment. The terminal equipment selects a public land mobile network by means of a comparison of the received public land mobile network identifiers and public land mobile network identifiers stored in the terminal equipment. Access is arranged for the terminal equipment via the local network to the network element determined by the network element identifier linked with the identifier of the selected public land mobile network.
