Method for configuring a terminal connected to a communications network

A method for supplying to a terminal of a user subscribed to an operator of a communications network, called nominal network, a data value indicating whether the terminal can access a first communications service via a first network access point, the method comprising the following acts performed by a server of the nominal network:

• receiving, by the server of the nominal network, a request relating to the first communications service, sent by the terminal via the first network access point, said request being a request for registration of the terminal for at least the first communications service with the nominal network, said first network access point being already used by the terminal for accessing a second communications service,
• detecting that the terminal is connected to a communications network different from the nominal network, called visited network,
• when the terminal is connected to the visited network, determining a data value indicating whether the terminal can access the first communications service via said first network access point, and
• sending a message comprising said data value to the terminal.

A terminal of a user subscribed to an operator of a communications network, called nominal network, for accessing a communications service, the terminal comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor configure the terminal to perform acts comprising:
• when the terminal is connected to the nominal network, using a first protocol stack associated with a first network access point for accessing a first communications service and a second communications service, distinct from the first communications service, and
• when the terminal is connected to a communications network different from the nominal network, called visited network, acts comprising:
• using said first protocol stack associated with the first network access point for accessing the first communications service,
• obtaining a data value indicating whether the terminal can access a second communications service via said first network access point, and
• in the case where the terminal cannot access the second communications service via the first network access point:
• determining a second network access point to be used by the terminal for accessing the second communications service, and
• using a second protocol stack associated with the second network access point for accessing the second communications service via the second network access point.

A device for supplying to a terminal of a user subscribed to an operator of a communications network, called nominal network, a data value indicating whether the terminal can access a first communications service via a first network access point, the device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor configure the device to perform acts comprising:
• receiving a request relating to the first communications service sent by the terminal, via the first network access point, said request being a request for registration of the terminal for at least the first communications service with the nominal network, said first network access point being already used by the terminal for accessing a second communications service,
• detecting whether the terminal is connected to a communications network different from the nominal network, called visited network,
• when the terminal is connected to the visited network, determining a data value indicating whether the terminal can access the first communications service via said first network access point, and
• sending a message comprising said data value to the terminal.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code instructions stored thereon for execution of a method for configuring a terminal of a user subscribed to an operator of a communications network, called nominal network, for accessing a communications service, when the program is executed by a processor of the terminal, wherein the method comprises:

• when the terminal is connected to the nominal network, using, within the terminal, a first protocol stack associated with a first network access point for accessing a first communications service and a second communications service, distinct from the first communications service;
• and
• when the terminal is connected to a communications network different from the nominal network, called visited network, acts comprising:
• using said first protocol stack associated with the first network access point for accessing the first communications service,
• obtaining a data value indicating whether the terminal can access a second communications service via said first network access point,
• in the case where the terminal cannot access the second communications service via the first network access point:
• determining a second network access point to be used by the terminal for accessing the second communications service, and
• using, within the terminal, a second protocol stack associated with the second network access point for accessing the second communications service via the second network access point.
