Abstract: A method for providing international calling services is disclosed. The method begins by preparing a mobile device for communication with a first network. In some cases, this would include registering the mobile device with the first network. The mobile device is then exported to a foreign service provider located in a foreign country. A user brings the mobile device back into the domestic nation (for example, the United States) after having purchased or leased the mobile device from the foreign service provider. The method can assist with various functions of the mobile device including: receiving call records related to the usage of the mobile device, and efficiently routing international and domestic calls.
