Abstract: A method and apparatus enables selection a communication
system when a user of a mobile unit is away from a home system to
which it is registered. According to one novel aspect, the visited
communication system broadcasts (402) a list of standardized type
services including tariff information, which is used by the mobile unit to
select a system. According to another novel aspect, the mobile initiates
an outgoing call of a non-standardised type service by accessing (502) a
candidate system and informing it of the location of the home network
and desired service identifier. The candidate system obtains (504) the
service information on this service from the home network, and then
provides (546) a quotation for a required service. Also, a communication
system according to the present invention minimises incoming call costs
to the user wherein the home system polls (606) the communication
systems within range of the mobile unit to select the best system to
provide service.
