Abstract
A method of redirecting data streams exchanged by a mobile terminal associated with a “third-party” account, with a first telecommunications network. The method includes a prior stage including: the first network receiving from the mobile terminal a registration request, and recovering the profile of the third-party account; the first network sending a DNS request including a “redirection” access point name; the DNS system responding by supplying the IP address of a “stream redirection” server; the first network setting up a tunnel between the server and the mobile terminal, by providing the server with at least one identifier of the third-party account; the server supplying a second telecommunications network with which the user of the mobile terminal holds a personal account that is distinct from the third-party account, with at least one identifier of the personal account; and the stream redirection server setting up a tunnel with the second network.
