Claim:
A method for configuring services in a mobile terminal of a mobile wireless network having a data-switching network element, the method comprising: transmitting configuration data from the data-switching network element of the mobile wireless network in existing signaling or system messages to the mobile terminal, checking whether an update of the configuration data in the mobile terminal must be performed in the data-switching network element on the basis of status data of the mobile terminal, and if so; transmitting current configuration data from the data-switching network element to the mobile terminal; wherein the configuration data allows a configuration of parameters and data for services which are supported by the mobile terminal, wherein a list of parameters is defined for one or more services, and for each service necessary parameters are defined in an arbitrary sequence, wherein if an incomplete list of parameters provided in a network element is sent to the mobile terminal, it is also to be accepted and processed by the mobile terminal, wherein missing parameters are ignored and the mobile terminal configures missing parameter values using already existing values.
