Abstract

A method is provided for roaming management in a mobile radio unit, in the memory of which a plurality of different individually activatable identity profiles are stored. The identity profiles includes different options for the mobile radio unit to access different mobile radio networks. In the method, the suitability of a currently active identity profile is automatically verified according to predefined rules and taking into account the current position of the mobile radio unit, and a decision is made as to whether a switch to a currently inactive identity profile should be made. An estimated destination of the mobile radio unit is additionally taken into account when making a decision about switching profiles.
