Abstract: The invention provides a method and a system for enabling communication with a device (206) of a party operating in a hybrid network. The hybrid network combines an Internet-protocol based network (202) and a non-internet-protocol based network (203), wherein the device is an Internet-protocol based device (206). The method includes contacting a first registry being (209) a member in the non-Internet-protocol based network (203) for registering the device in the non-internet-protocol based network. The method also includes contacting a second registry (210) being a member in the Internet-protocol based network (202), for registering the device in the Internet-protocol based network.

Abstract: A system installed at a roaming mobile network, comprises: a signaling relay enabled to monitor, intercept and modify mobile network signaling messages between the roaming network and the home network, a controller application for the signaling relay, said controller configured to instruct the signaling relay to replace an identity of a roaming user with a local network subscriber identity, thereby to enable registration of the roaming user with the local network for receiving at least one local mobile service as a local user, the roamer retaining a pre-existing registration with a respective home mobile network for receiving at least one other roaming mobile service, wherein authentication of the mobile device with the roaming network uses authentication data of the home network registration.

Abstract: A client for inclusion in a mobile telephony apparatus barred from international roaming usage, to allow roaming operation thereof according to conditions determined at a home network, the client being configured with: an activation unit configured to switch said client between active and passive states, and a call control unit, operative in said active state, to communicate with a predetermined node at said home network, to facilitate control of said mobile telephony apparatus using said home network determined conditions. There is also provided a server component at the home network to support the client. The system allows CAMEL type services when a prepaid roaming user is roaming in a non-CAMEL enabled network, and even allows these services to be provided when the home network lacks CAMEL enablement.

Abstract: A network based host comprising an agent for mobile telephones, the agent being associated with a mobile telephone users the agent comprising: mobile telephone application data; and an interface to make the application data available over the network to devices of the mobile telephone user and to provide the data for telephony operations by a remotely connecting mobile telephony device of the mobile telephone user.

Abstract: A method and a system for providing services to roaming subscribers of mobile telephone networks. The system comprising a packet-switch network and intelligent gateways coupled to the packet-switch network enables roaming subscribers to continue using their value added services using familiar access, interface and language. The system also enables mobile operators to deliver new services to roamers and subscribers.

Abstract: A cellular data communication interfacing apparatus, for association with a mobile network and for supporting cellular data communication to roaming mobile telephony devices, comprises a data request analyzer, a service network selector, and an interfacing engine. Each of the roaming telephony devices is associated with a respective home network and a service profile specifying service networks providing data services to the device. The data request analyzer analyzes data requests from the roaming mobile. The service network selector uses the request analyses together with the device service profiles to select a corresponding service network. The interfacing engine introduces the devices to the service networks, directs the data requests to the service networks, and directs the corresponding data responses from the service networks to the requesting roaming mobile devices.

Abstract: Apparatus for mediating between a cellular telephony network and a wireless LAN, comprises a first adaptor for allowing signal exchange with the cellular telephony network, a second adaptor for allowing signal exchange with the wireless LAN; and a presence tracker associated with the adaptors for obtaining and storing a current location of a wireless device on any of the networks. The apparatus allows for mobile wireless devices to connect to wireless LANs and be able to register and receive services from their mobile operator, by treating the LAN in the same way as a foreign network in International roaming.

Abstract: A system enables telephony services when roaming in a visited mobile network (108) to a user subscribing to a home mobile network (104) and having a prepaid account with a balance at the home mobile network (104). The system includes a home intelligent gateway (106) integrated into the visited mobile network (108), and a global packet switch network (100) connected to the home intelligent gateway (106) and to the visited intelligent gateway (102). The home intelligent gateway (102) and the visited intelligent gateway (106) are configured to communicate via the global packet switch network (100) in order to manage the telephony services in real-time according to the balance.
