Method for improved handling of emergency calls in a roaming scenario, wherein a user equipment is assigned to a home telecommunications network and wherein the user equipment is connected to a visited telecommunications network, wherein a proxy functionality of the home telecommunications network is used in the roaming scenario, wherein a voice call is initiated by the user equipment using a specific emergency call telephone number being a valid emergency call telephone number in the visited telecommunications network, wherein the user equipment initially handles the voice call - involving the specific emergency call telephone number - as a normal voice call, non-UE detected emergency call, wherein the method comprises the steps of: -- in a first step, the voice call is initiated by the user equipment by means of the user equipment transmitting a first message directed to a network node of the home telecommunications network, the first message comprising the specific emergency call telephone number, -- in a second step, subsequent to the first step, the first message is received by a telephone number detecting network node of the visited telecommunications network, wherein the specific emergency call telephone number is detected by the telephone number detecting network node of the visited telecommunications network, wherein a second message is transmitted to the network node of the home telecommunications network, the second message comprising an emergency call information, the emergency call information being indicative of the use of a valid emergency call telephone number in relation of the voice call, -- in a third step, subsequent to the second step, a third message is generated by the node of the home telecommunications network, the third message being directed to the user equipment, wherein the third message is transmitted to a network node of the visited telecommunications network, and forwarded, as a fourth message, to the user equipment, the third and fourth messages (303, 304) comprising an indication, to the user equipment, to trigger an emergency call procedure in accordance to a configuration of the visited telecommunications network towards the visited telecommunications network by means of a fifth message. -- in a first step, the voice call is initiated by the user equipment by means of the user equipment transmitting a first message directed to a network node of the home telecommunications network, the first message comprising the specific emergency call telephone number, -- in a second step, subsequent to the first step, the first message is received by a telephone number detecting network node of the visited telecommunications network, wherein the specific emergency call telephone number is detected by the telephone number detecting network node of the visited telecommunications network, wherein a second message is transmitted to the network node of the home telecommunications network, the second message comprising an emergency call information, the emergency call information being indicative of the use of a valid emergency call telephone number in relation of the voice call, -- in a third step, subsequent to the second step, a third message is generated by the node of the home telecommunications network, the third message being directed to the user equipment, wherein the third message is transmitted to a network node of the visited telecommunications network, and forwarded, as a fourth message, to the user equipment, the third and fourth messages (303, 304) comprising an indication, to the user equipment, to trigger an emergency call procedure in accordance to a configuration of the visited telecommunications network towards the visited telecommunications network by means of a fifth message.
