Abstract
The invention provides a method, system and devices for providing a connection of a terminal to at least two networks for providing services to the terminal. The terminal establishes only one logical connection to a support node of a network for communication between the terminal and the network. The logical connection is used for providing services to the terminal from the at least two networks. A network visited by the terminal provides visited services in addition to home services provided to the terminal from a home network of the terminal, the services being provided in parallel.
