Abstract
A system and method for temporarily relocating a subscriber in a cellular communications network to a new location such as another telephone. The subscriber enables the service by contacting a user interface system, which then instructs a home location network associated with the subscriber's home network and accessible through an intelligent network to provide appropriate information to the switch that is serving the new location. As a result, the subscriber may receive services that are identical, equivalent, or a subset of those that he receives from his home network.
