Abstract: A terminal and a method for configuring such a terminal are provided for a user subscribed to an operator of a communication network, referred to as the nominal network, in order to access a communication service. The terminal is configured to access a first communication service via a first network access point. When the terminal is connected to a communication network other than the nominal network, referred to as a visited network, the terminal obtains data indicating whether the terminal can access a second communication service via said first network access point. In the case where the terminal cannot access the second communication service via the first network access point, the terminal determines a second network access point to be used by the terminal in order to access the second communication service and configures itself to be able to access the second communication service via the second network access point.
