Summary:Data related to a subscriber (A) in a communications network (100) is to be retrieved. A first Generic User Profile (GUP) server (104) receives an incoming request for the subscriber related data froma data consumer (102) in a first communication domain (101) and determines that the data is located in a second communication domain (109). An outgoing request for the data is then transmitted to a second GUP server (110) in the second communication domain via an interface (111). The second GUP server then retrieves the requested subscriber related data from a network repository (112) and transmits the requested data to the first GUP server, which forwards the requested data to the data consumer. Service access to subscriber data located in other domains than the GUP Server is enabled, for example when the subscriber is roaming. The subscriber related data can also be distributed in both the first and second communication domain.
