Abstract
A method performed by a communication device in a network comprising mobile networks operated by mobile network operators, MNOs, is provided. The method includes signaling to a first server to discover a second server having information about a public land mobile network identifier and a network service of a MNO. The second server has a first fully qualified domain name, FQDN, pointing to a provider domain. The method further includes receiving a response including a resolution or a redirection of the FQDN; signaling to discover the information about the network service; and receiving a response from the second server including a first identification of the information about the network service of the MNO or a second identification that the network service is not available. Corresponding methods performed by a first server and a second server are also provided.
