Abstract
Subscriber data in a Super-charged network is handled in a network including a home network entity containing information regarding subscriber in the network and one or more visitor network entities containing subscriber to other networks. A subscriber profile in a visitor network entity may be updated if necessary, and if certain conditions are met. The profile may be updated by sending modifications from the home network entity to the visitor network entity. Depending on the amount of time that has elapsed since the contact of the subscriber and the network, the subscriber's identity may be unallocated. If the subscriber's record is purged from a visitor network entity, an indication of this may be recorded in the home network entity.
