Abstract

The method and the communication network according to the subject matter of the invention for administering subscriber data provides that an interface (HaHb-IF) via which information (FM, B#) for selecting outside subscriber data can be transmitted is respectively established between one's own memory unit (HLRa) responsible for a subscriber (A) and another memory unit (HLRb). The interface implemented between one's own memory unit and another memory unit not only enables a communication connection to one's own memory unit for the subscriber in a simple way but also enables a communication connection therefrom to another, central data base having outside subscriber data. Thus, the information—in a container message on the basis of a subscriber self-input for a specific service (follow me)—can thus be forwarded to the outside memory unit in order to select the subscriber data of the other subscriber—to have the service data of this service registered for the other subscriber in his memory unit.
