The present invention is provides towards a method and system for facilitating roaming tests for an operator in a telecommunication network. The method includes detecting a location update message of a subscriber to an HLR while switching from a first MSG/VLR to a second MSG/VLR, The method further includes holding by a value added module, a cancel location message being sent from the HLR to the first MSG/VLR. The method further includes conducting the roaming tests by the value added module, using the subscriber's profile data obtained from the first MSG/VLR. Further in the method the value added module releases the cancel location message to the first MSC/VLR.

Value added module in predictive intelligence

The present invention provides a method and system for mobile communication where upon detecting a change in registration of a subscriber of a 5 client network at a visited operator, the subscribers client networks IMSI is switched to a hub operators IMSI. The hub operator is selected from a cloudSIM hub ecosystem, depending on the location of the subscriber. Thereafter, a cloudSIM hub converts between the signaling on the hub operators IMSI to signaling on the client operators IMSI. Further, the cloudSIM hub relays the converted signaling between 10 the visited operator and the client operator.

Method and system for providing cloud subscriber identity module (SIM)

The present invention provides a method for facilitating roaming management of a host network. The method includes obtaining at a gateway associated with the host network, signaling messages of one or more roamers. The roamers are subscribers of either the host network or one or more non-host networks. The method further includes determining by the gateway, the host network's roaming arrangement with the non-host networks, based on analysis of one or more signaling messages from the obtained signaling messages.
