Abstract

A communication system comprising one or more base stations and one or more mobile stations set up for mutual communication through a network operated by several network operators, the mobile station having memory means comprising data about said network operators, which data also comprises additional data representing call tariff information about the network operators. The operators data can advantageously be used for minimising charges for a telephone call to be made.
