Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer readable media for providing dynamic steering of roaming in a telecommunications network are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method for providing dynamic steering of roaming in a telecommunications network includes a method for providing dynamic steering of roaming in a telecommunications network. The method includes, at a mobile telecommunications device, the device being associated with a subscriber of a first network carrier, receiving, from a source other than an operator of the first network carrier, information identifying a second network carrier that is different from the first network carrier. Based on the received information, the device either makes a change to a preferred roaming network carrier for the device by setting the second network carrier as a preferred roaming network carrier for the device, or connects to the second network carrier, where the second network carrier is not a preferred roaming network carrier for the device, and without changing the preferred roaming network carrier for the device.
