Abstract

Abstract A method for relocating a subscriber in a voice messaging system (VMS) which is connected with an extensive digital mobile network (GMS), including a plurality of mobile switching centres (MSC) and a home location register (HLR). In the method, VMS checks HLR repeatedly for the location of a subscriber and concludes on the basis of this information whether the subscriber has moved into the area of some other MSC for a period of time longer than a predetermined period of time and, in a positive case, the old VMS transfers the subscriber-related information to the new VMS, thus accomplishing the automatic relocation of the subscriber's home station in connection with a new MSC.
