A method for providing information services to a wireless device roaming in a
wireless
system is disclosed. Normal network message traffic information is obtained from
a wireless system. The normal network message traffic information is transmitted
to a protocol converter. In the protocol converter, roamer information is extracted
from the normal network message traffic information and converted into a protocol
analyzer format. A query is transmitted to a Mobile Switching Center requesting
information regarding the wireless device's serving cell or location. Information
regarding the wireless device's serving cell or location is received and combined
with the converted roamer information to form a roamer trigger. The roamer trigger
is transmitted to protocol analyzer. In the protocol analyzer, specific information
pieces regarding the wireless device are extracted. The extracted specific information
pieces are transmitted to a data interpreter for translation and delivery to a
wireless device.
