USE OF A USER EQUIPMENT CONNECTED TO A MOBILE NETWORK, IN WHICH THE USER EQUIPMENT USES AN ACCESS POINT NAME FOR HOME OPERATOR SERVICES

The invention relates to a method for an improved usage of a user equipment being connected to a mobile communication network via a radio access network of or associated with the mobile communication network,wherein the user equipment is enabled to use a specific packet network connection, being a packet network connection using an access point name for home operator services for the transmission of home operator services data,wherein the user equipment receives a packet network connection idle timer information, wherein the method comprises the following steps:-- in a first step, the packet network connection idle timer information is transmitted, by the mobile communication network, to the user equipment,-- in a second step, partly during or subsequent to the first step, the specific packet network connection is activated or initialized for the transmission of home operator services data, and the transmission of the home operator services data is started,-- in a third step, subsequent to the second step, - upon the transmission of the home operator services data being completed or terminated - the specific packet network connection is idle, and it is checked whether the specific packet network connection stays idle for a period of time corresponding to the packet network connection idle timer information after completing or terminating the transmission of the home operator services data,-- in a fourth step, subsequent to the third step, - in case that the specific packet network connection stayed idle for a period of time corresponding to the packet network connection idle timer information - the specific packet network connection is deactivated or closed by the user equipment.
