1. A method, comprising:
- receiving with a processor a first set of parameters relating to a service, wherein the first set of parameters is valid when the service is controlled by a first network;
determining with a processor whether a second set of parameters is needed after a session is established by comparing a network identifier of a network controlling the service with a network identifier of a user identity of a user becoming a party of the service, wherein the second set of parameters relating to said service is valid when said service is controlled by a second network; and
initiating obtaining with a processor the second set of parameters, when the network identifier of the network controlling the service is different from the network identifier of the user identity of the user becoming the party of the service.

Abstract
A method enables obtaining parameters relating to a service provided in a communication system. The method comprises storing a first set of parameters relating to a service, the first set of parameters being valid when the service is controlled by a first network. The method further comprises determining whether a second set of parameters is needed, the second set of parameters relating to said service and being valid when said service is controlled by a second network. The method further comprises obtaining the second set of parameters, when needed. A communication device is configured to execute the method.

24. A computer program embodied on a computer-readable medium, the computer program configured to control a processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving with a processor a first set of parameters relating to a service, wherein the first set of parameters is valid when the service is controlled by a first network; determining with a processor whether a second set of parameters is needed after a session is established by comparing a network identifier of a network controlling the service with a network identifier of a user identity of a user becoming a party of the service, wherein the second set of parameters relating to said service is valid when said service is controlled by a second network; and initiating obtaining with a processor the second set of parameters, when the network identifier of the network controlling the service is different from the network identifier of the user identity of the user becoming the party of the service.

25. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a processor configured to receive a first set of parameters relating to a service, wherein the first set of parameters is valid when the service is controlled by a first network; a processor configured to determine whether a second set of parameters is needed after a session is established by comparing a network identifier of a network controlling the service with a network identifier of a user identity of a user becoming a party of the service, wherein the second set of parameters relating to said service is valid when said service is controlled by a second network; and a processor configured to initiate obtaining the second set of parameters, when the network identifier of the network controlling the service is different from the network identifier of the user identity of the user becoming the party of the service. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A method, comprising:
-
receiving with a receiver a request for provision of a service to a user of a client, wherein the service is controlled by a network of a communication system that uses at least one controlling network dependent parameter; verifying whether the user of the client belongs to a network controlling provision of the service; determining with a processor whether the client needs a set of parameters after a session is established, that relate to the service, when the user of the client belongs to a network other than the network controlling the provision of the service by comparing a network identifier of a network controlling the service with a network identifier of a user identity of a user becoming a party of the service; and providing the set of parameters, when the network identifier of the network controlling the service is different from the network identifier of the user identity of the user becoming the party of the service and determination is made that the client needs to be provided with the set of parameters. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)

43. A computer program embodied on a computer-readable medium, the computer program configured to control a processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving with a receiver a request for provision of a service to a user of a client, wherein the service is controlled by a network of a communication system that uses at least one controlling network dependent parameter; verifying whether the user of the client belongs to a network controlling provision of the service; determining with a processor whether the client needs a set of parameters after a session is established by comparing a network identifier of a network controlling the service with a network identifier of a user identity of a user becoming a party of the service, that relate to the service, when the user of the client belongs to a network other than the network controlling the provision of the service; and providing the set of parameters, when the network identifier of the network controlling the service is different from the network identifier of the user identity of the user becoming the party of the service and determination is made that the client needs to be provided with the set of parameters.

44. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive a request for provision of a service to a user of a client, the service being controlled by a network of the communication system that uses at least one controlling network dependent parameter; and a processor configured to verify that the user of the client belongs to a network controlling provision of the service, determine whether the client needs to be provided with a set of parameters that relate to the service after a session is established by comparing a network identifier of a network controlling the service with a network identifier of a user identity of a user becoming a party of the service, when it is verified the user of the client belongs to a network other than the network controlling a provision of the service, and provide the set of parameters, when the network identifier of the network controlling the service is different from the network identifier of the user identity of the user becoming the party of the service and a determination is made that the client needs to be provided with the set of parameters. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46, 47)
