The present invention proposes a method for enabling a subscriber entity to actively communicate in a communication network, a subscriber entity being identified by at least one assigned subscriber identity (IMSI, MSISDN), said communication network comprising at least one database entity of a first type ( 5 a, 5 b) keeping a first record of data of subscriber entities enabled to actively communicate in a communication network, the method comprising the steps of: storing said at least one assigned subscriber identity of at least one subscriber entity not enabled to actively communicate in said communication network in a database entity ( 4 ) of a second type, informing (S 2 a, S 2 b) said database entity ( 4 ) of said second type about a need to enable said at least one not enabled subscriber entity to actively communicate in said communication network, and, upon being informed, transferring (S 3 ) information related to a subscriber entity not enabled, from said database ( 4 ) of said second type to a selected one ( 5 b) of said at least one database entity of said first type ( 5 a, 5 b). Also, the present invention proposes an accordingly adapted database entity of the above mentioned second type and a register entity for interaction with said database entity of said second type.
