1. A system for providing a service to a user of a first terminal (T1) of a telecommunication network, said user desiring to use a predefined universal mobile telecommunication service of a universal mobile telecommunication system, characterized in that said system includes:

  • an information retriever (RET) retrieving at least one location information (LOC-A2) from information storage (MEM) corresponding to at least one location coverage area (A2) belonging to a system coverage area of said universal mobile telecommunication system, said system coverage area comprising at least one location coverage area (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6) and said information storage associating each said location coverage area with a respective location information such that, when said first terminal (T1) is located within a particular location coverage area (A2) said first terminal (T1) is enabled to access said predefined universal mobile telecommunication service, said retriever thereby providing at least one retrieved location information (LOC-A2) to a first determiner (DET1);

    said first determiner (DET1) being coupled to said information retriever (RET) and being adapted to select, upon receiving an initiation signal (INIT) from said system, a selected location information (LOC-A2) based upon predefined rules and based upon the at least one location information (LOC-A2, LOC-A3) retrieved from said information storage (MEM), and to provide said selected location information (LOC-A2) to a forwarder; and

    said forwarder (FORW) being coupled to said first determiner (DET1) and enabled to forward said selected location information (LOC-A2) to said user and to thereby enable transportation of said first terminal (T1) to said selected coverage area (A2) according to said forwarded selected location information (LOC-A2) and to thereby enable said first terminal (T1) to access said predefined universal mobile telecommunication service.
