Abstract
A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for allowing business indoor mobile subscribers having multiple profiles to access both the business indoor network and the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) using one mobile terminal. To implement this dual-network service, a toggle feature can be provided to allow a business indoor mobile subscriber to choose between different subscriber profiles. Thus, if a mobile subscriber currently has the business indoor profile active and wishes to access the PLMN while roaming outside the business indoor cell(s), the mobile subscriber can initiate this toggle feature, and upon acknowledgment and authentication by the PLMN, the mobile subscriber can have access to the PLMN.
