Abstract
In a telecommunication system including a plurality of communication networks a user is provided with a consistent set of services when roaming through the networks using a telecommunication device, such as radio telephone. Data specific to services of the telecommunication system are stored in memory means of the telecommunication device and the communication networks. Service specific data are exchanged between the telecommunication device and the communication networks when accessing a communication network and/or a particular service thereof. The exchanged data are processed such to provide services to the user in accordance with a user interface known to the user.

28. A method of providing a mobile user with consistent services in a radio communication system with at least a home location network and a visitor location network, wherein said home location network uses a first code for a service and said visitor location network uses a second code for said service, and wherein said first code is different from said second code, comprising the steps of:
-
storing in a mobile unit service data of said first code;
roaming, in said mobile unit, to said visitor location network;
receiving, over an air-interface, in said mobile unit service data of said second code;
storing said second code in said mobile unit;
requesting by said user, said service by inputting said first code;
translating, in said mobile unit, said first code into said second code; and
transmitting, over the air interface, second code to request said service from said visitor location network.
