Abstract
A method of authorizing an IMS call in a foreign country for a wireless communication device that has a wireless communication subscription service with a US wireless communication service provider. The method comprises receiving a request to originate an IMS call by a HSS located in the US, wherein the request is received from a first wireless communication device located outside of the US and the request identifies a first country; determining by the HSS that international IMS roaming service is allowed by the wireless communication service provider in the first country; determining by the HSS that a first wireless communication subscription service associated with the first wireless communication device allows international IMS roaming service; and sending an authorization to originate the IMS call by the HSS to the first wireless communication device, whereby the first wireless communication device is enabled to originate the IMS call in the first country.
