Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for mobile communication where upon detecting a change in registration of a SIM device at a visited operator (VPMN), the SIM device's IMSI profile is switched to one of a HPMN IMSI profile or local IMSI profile of a hub operator. The hub operator is selected from a cloudSIM hub ecosystem, depending on the location of the SIM device and quality and regulatory requirements of the service associated with the SIM device. The cloudSIM hub allocates dynamic IMSI with either a partial IMSI profile or a full IMSI profile based on SIM device requirements. The full profile has security key information of HPMN or the VPMN, and the SIM device requirement can be from either a softSIM, an eSIM or a standard SIM.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for providing wireless services to a prepaid subscriber of an HPMN in a VPMN when the prepaid subscriber attempts to register at the VPMN having a non-WIN phase 2 support. The method includes detecting at a Signal Gateway (SG) coupled to the VPMN, a registration attempt by the prepaid subscriber at the VPMN. The method further includes causing by the SG, an HLR associated with the HPMN to send a trigger profile information in a registration acknowledgement message to the SG in response to a modified registration message, sent by the SG, so as to imitate the VPMN's roaming support for WIN phase 2 at the HLR having a WIN phase 2 support. Finally, the method includes sending a modified registration acknowledgement message by the SG, to a VMSC/VLR associated with the VPMN to facilitate the prepaid subscriber's mobile communication in the VPMN.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for providing wireless services to a prepaid subscriber of an HPMN in a VPMN when the prepaid subscriber attempts to register at the VPMN.
