Claim

1. In a network where a gateway location register serves a first visitor location register in a first country and a second visitor location register in a second country, a method for providing regional subscription data to a serving visitor location register comprising the steps of: receiving a location update from a mobile subscriber in a network; determining whether this is the first location update for the mobile subscriber in a network served by the gateway location register; determining whether this is the first location update in a new country for the mobile subscriber; requesting regional subscription data from a home location register associated with the mobile subscriber if the location update is not the first location update for the mobile subscriber in the network and if the location update is the first location update for the mobile subscriber in the new country.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the regional subscription data is requested by the gateway location register sending a MAP UPDATE LOCATION request message to the home location register.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the MAP UPDATE LOCATION request message includes a gateway mobile switching center address which indicates to the home location register the country in which the mobile subscriber is currently located.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the MAP UPDATE LOCATION request message includes a gateway mobile switching center address which indicates a country code and national destination code associated with a visitor location register which is serving the mobile subscriber.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the MAP UPDATE LOCATION message includes a field which contains a country code and national destination code associated with a visitor location register which is currently serving the mobile subscriber.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the regional subscription data is requested by the gateway location register sending a MAP RESTORE DATA request message to the home location register.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the MAP RESTORE DATA request message includes a field which contains a country code and national destination code associated with a visitor location register which is currently serving the mobile subscriber.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the regional subscription data is requested by the gateway location register sending an explicit request message to the home location register.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the explicit request message is a message specifically designed to request regional subscription data and wherein the explicit request message includes a country code and national destination code associated with a visitor location register serving the mobile subscriber

10. The method of claim 8, wherein a list of zone codes are transferred from the home location register to the gateway location register in an explicit reply message

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining steps are performed by the gateway location register

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining steps are performed by a visitor location register serving the mobile subscriber in the new country

13. The method of claim 1, wherein if it is determined that this is the first location update for the mobile subscriber in the network, performing the step of: sending a MAP UPDATE LOCATION request message including all combinations of country codes and national destination codes associated with visitor location registers served by the gateway location register

14. In a network where a gateway location register serves a first visitor location register in a first network and a second visitor location register in a second network, the first and second networks being located in a same country, a method for providing regional subscription data to a serving visitor location register comprising the steps of: receiving a location update from a mobile subscriber in a network; determining whether this is the first location update for the mobile subscriber in the first and second networks; determining whether this is the first location update for the mobile subscriber in a new network served by the gateway location register; requesting regional subscription data from a home location register associated with the mobile subscriber if the location update is not the first location update for the mobile subscriber in the first and second networks and if the location update is the first location update for the mobile subscriber in the new network.']
