Abstract
The present invention proposes a method for mobile communication. The method includes assigning one or more Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Numbers (MSISDNs) to a subscriber of a Home Public Mobile Network (HPMN) upon receiving a subscription activation message from the subscriber at a Signaling Gateway (SG). The subscriber has an HPMN Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) with a corresponding HPMN International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) and an HPMN MSISDN. The method further includes creating an association of the MSISDNs with the HPMN MSISDN to facilitate signaling corresponding to the HPMN MSISDN and the MSISDNs associated with the subscriber.
