Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9738539A1] A system and method for determining whether a subscriber's desired service provider is operating on a band of the spectrum in a subscriber's current geographic area provides service when that subscriber is roaming out of his or her home geographic area. When service in a new geographic area is initiated (204), a check is made to determine whether this default service provider is a desired service provider (212). If the default service provider is a desired service provider, the service request is granted and the subscriber is free to place and receive calls (216).
