Methods and systems of authorizing a user of a first packet-based communication network to access a second packet-based communication network are disclosed. A call setup request is received from a user terminal of the user at a first network element of the first packet-based communication network, the authorization request comprising a first user identity. Responsive to the call setup request, a request is transmitted to create a second user identity from the first network element to a second network element of the second packet-based communication network. The second network element creates the second user identity for use in the second packet-based communication network. The second user identity is derivable from the first user identity according to a predetermined rule. The second user identity is stored in the second packet-based communication network for use with establishing a call associated with the call setup request over the second packet-based communication network.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
A system comprising a first network element connected to a first packet-based communication network and a second network element connected to a second packet-based communication network, wherein the first network element is arranged to receive an authorisation request comprising a first user identity from a user terminal and transmit a request to create a second user identity to the second network element responsive to the authorisation request, and the second network element is arranged to create the second user identity for use in the second packet-based communication network, the second user identity being derivable from the first user identity according to a predetermined rule, and store the second user identity for use with subsequent communication events over the second packet-based communication network.
