General information about registering a mobile phone system

If set on the mobile phone, enter the Personal Identification Number (PIN). The mobile phone system then sets up a link to the nearest base station controller and relays the data to the mobile service switching center via the base station controller. Access authorization for the mobile telephone network is granted by the authentification center after the necessary data has been checked in the mobile service switching center.

After successful log-in to the mobile telephone network, the name of the mobile telephone network is indicated on the mobile phone screen.

If the nearest mobile service switching center is not the one in which the user was entered in the home location register when the user's cellular mobile telephone was logged in, the user is registered there in the visitor location register. The mobile service switching center then establishes contact with the mobile service switching center, in which the user is registered as a mobile service user in the home location register, checks the necessary data, and grants access authorization to the mobile telephone network.

The mobile service switching center therefore automatically receives information about the location of the subscriber and can route the incoming telephone calls to the subscriber for as long as he/she is logged into the mobile telephone network. Any location change is registered in the mobile service switching center.
