A method of operating a wireless communications network is adapted to
provide services to users exploiting a first and a second different radio
communications technologies, for example, an enhanced general packet
radio service network. The method includes: providing, in a user profile
available at the network, a subscription indication adapted to indicate
that the user has subscribed for being provisioned with the network
services through the first radio communication technology, upon reception
by the network of a capability indication from the user adapted to
indicate to the network that the user supports the first radio
communications technology, looking up the user profile for the presence
of the subscription indication; and in case the subscription indication
is not found, handling the user as if supporting the second radio
communications technology but not the first radio communications
technology.
