A user is registered to use telecommunications services provided by a home
service provider in a wired home network. When the user travels, the user
may be provided with telecommunications services by another service
provider operating in a wired visited fixed network. The user "attaches"
himself/herself to the visited fixed network which includes nominating a
telephone to which calls made to a user's personal number may be
forwarded. The user is also assigned a prefix number which enables
him/her to make calls from any phone in the visited fixed network.
