1. A method for routing communications within a telecommunications network, including:
within a server system:
executing a simulated subscriber identity module associated with a first telephony subscriber identity within a simulator in the server system;
executing a signaling gateway;
routing a telecommunications message received at the server system from a core network via the signaling gateway for a mobile network operator for the first telephony subscriber identity to the simulated subscriber identity module associated with the first telephony subscriber identity executed within the simulator in the server system; and
performing messaging routing in relation to the telecommunications message at the simulated subscriber identity module executed within the simulator in the server system,
wherein the first telephony subscriber identity is a unique identifier within the telecommunications network, the server system includes a roaming network or simulates, at least in part, the roaming network, the simulated subscriber identity module simulates telecommunications messaging flows within the simulator in the server system, and wherein the server system interconnects with the core network via a signaling interface provided by the signaling gateway,
wherein the first telephony subscriber identity is one or more of an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), Mobile Station-Integrated Services Digital Network (MS-ISDN), Globally Unique Temporary Identifier (GUTI), IP Multimedia Private Identity (IMPI), IP multimedia public identity (IMPU), or Globally Routable User Agent Uniform Resource Identifier (GRUU), and wherein the roaming network includes one or more of a Visitor Location Register (VLR), a Mobile Switching Centre (MSC), a Mobility Management Entity (MME), or a Call Session Control Function (CSCF).
