A UE has a subscription to a Home Public Land Mobile Network (H-PLMN) and has a subscription to an Alternative Roaming Provider (ARP) stored in a subscription database. The ARP is adapted to provide a communication service to the subscriber if the subscriber roams into a Visited Public Land Mobile Network (V-PLMN) which is different from the H-PLMN. The method includes registering the UE at a control node of the V-PLMN and sending, by the control node, a request for subscription data to the subscription database. The method further includes: sending, by the subscription database, an indication of the ARP to the control node; generating, by the control node, network identification information, based on the indication of the ARP and the indication of the V-PLMN; and sending, by the control node, the network identification information to the UE. |

1. A method of providing network identification information to a user equipment, UE, wherein the UE has a subscription to a Home Public Land Mobile Network, H-PLMN, and a subscription to an alternative roaming provider, ARP, wherein the subscription to the ARP is stored in a subscription database, and wherein the ARP is adapted to provide a communication service to the subscriber if the subscriber roams into a Visited Public Land Mobile Network, V-PLMN, which is different to the H-PLMN, comprising the steps of:
registering the UE at a control node of the V-PLMN; sending, by the control node, a request for subscription data to the subscription database; sending, by the subscription database, an indication of the ARP to the control node; generating, by the control node, network identification information, based on the indication of the ARP and the indication of the V-PLMN; and sending, by the control node, the network identification information to the UE. |
