A method is provided of transfer of a service session with a mobile terminal from a first wireless local area network to one of its neighbours in a telecommunications system. According to the method, temporary credentials are provided to the mobile terminal, each being usable for access to a corresponding neighbour. The mobile terminal stores said credentials. The mobile terminal moves to the coverage area of a second network which is one of the neighbours, and detects that it has so moved. The mobile terminal identifies, or is informed of the identity of the second network. The mobile terminal then sends to the second network the temporary credential corresponding to the second network. The second network determines the temporary credential received to be valid, so permits service session transfer.
