1. A method of updating a roaming list in a mobile device, comprising:

  • targeting the mobile device as one requiring a roaming list update, the targeting being accomplished by;

    detecting an occurrence of an event, the detecting being accomplished via a processor at a back-end system in selective and operative communication with the mobile device;

    generating, by the processor, a trigger in response to the detecting of the occurrence of the event;

    recognizing, by the processor, the trigger as a roaming list update trigger, the recognizing being accomplished upon determining that the event from which the trigger is generated renders the roaming list then-currently stored in the mobile device as being out of date; and

    identifying, via the processor, the mobile device as requiring the roaming list update based on the recognizing of the event as the roaming list update trigger;

    by the processor at the back-end system running a roaming list update application, selecting the roaming list update for the identified mobile device, the roaming list update application including computer readable code, embedded on a tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium, for performing the selecting; and

    transmitting, via a wireless connection, the roaming list update from the back-end system to the identified mobile device.
