  • Patent number: 7627316
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the registration of a communication terminal with a IMS services network via at least one communications network. According to the present invention, it is checked on the part of a network element of the IMS services network whether the communication terminal is currently IMS registered. If the communication terminal is not currently IMS registered, an IMS registration procedure is automatically initiated in the communication terminal by transmitting a Short Message SMS to the communication terminal, the Short Message containing an IMS registration request. On receipt of the SMS the communication terminal automatically registers with the IMS.
