摘要

Abstract The present invention relates to a method for managing the automatic provision of a subscriber network identifier from a central network server to a subscribed communication device, the method comprising receiving notification at the central server relating to a change in the current location for the subscribed device and determining whether a new subscriber network identifier is to be provisioned from the central server. The method further comprises the step of selecting a subscriber network identifier on the basis of the current location when a new subscriber network identifier needs to be provisioned; and outputting the selected subscriber network identifier for transmission to the subscribed device.
