Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a method and system for enabling and facilitating roaming of subscribers of a home public land mobile network (HPLMN) equipped with long term evolution (LTE) devices into a LTE access network of a visited PLMN (VPLMN). Voice over LTE (VoLTE) services are not supported in the HPLMN or the roaming subscribers do not have the VoLTE services. The VPLMN only supports the VoLTE services. Alternatively, the VPLMN supports VoLTE and circuit switched fall back (CSFB) to a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network, but the roaming subscriber's LTE device does not support CSFB to the CDMA network. A non-VoLTE inbound roaming subscriber is registered in a home location register (HLR) as if the roaming subscriber were roaming in a VPLMN circuit switched domain. A local IMS subscription with telephony services is created and the telephony services are provided to the non-VoLTE inbound roaming subscriber.
