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 first network node of the visited telecommunications network communicates with a second network node of the home telecommunications network by means of an IP transportation tunnel, wherein upon an establishment step of the IP transportation tunnel and/or upon a modification step of the IP transportation tunnel an emergency service information is transmitted to the second network node of the home telecommunications network, using the IP transportation tunnel, wherein in case that both -- 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, and -- the user equipment initially handling the voice call involving the specific emergency call telephone number as a normal voice call, non-UE detected emergency call, the method comprises the steps of: -- in a first step, the voice call is initiated by the user equipment by means of transmitting a first message to the second 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 specific emergency call telephone number is detected based on the emergency service information transmitted to the second network node of the home telecommunications network, by the home telecommunications network, as being a valid emergency call telephone number within the visited telecommunications network in relation of the voice call, -- in a third step, subsequent to the second step, a second message is generated by the home telecommunications network, the second message being transmitted to the user equipment, the second message comprising an indication, to the user equipment, to trigger an emergency call procedure in accordance to the configuration of the visited telecommunications network by means of a third message. -- 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, and -- the user equipment initially handling the voice call involving the specific emergency call telephone number as a normal voice call, non-UE detected emergency call, -- in a first step, the voice call is initiated by the user equipment by means of transmitting a first message to the second 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 specific emergency call telephone number is detected based on the emergency service information transmitted to the second network node of the home telecommunications network, by the home telecommunications network, as being a valid emergency call telephone number within the visited telecommunications network in relation of the voice call, -- in a third step, subsequent to the second step, a second message is generated by the home telecommunications network, the second message being transmitted to the user equipment, the second message comprising an indication, to the user equipment, to trigger an emergency call procedure in accordance to the configuration of the visited telecommunications network by means of a third message.
