PLEASE use code tags as demanded in forum rules!
If the order of the keys is always fixed and as you stat above, try
Code:
awk '/ZMIO:MSISDN|MOBILE STATION ISDN NUMBER/ {printf "%s%s", $0, OFS}    # either pattern matched, print to same line
     /VLR-ADDRESS/                                                        # pattern matched - take default action (print $0)
    ' file
< ZMIO:MSISDN=12345678:; MOBILE STATION ISDN NUMBER .... 12345678 VLR-ADDRESS .....
< ZMIO:MSISDN=98765432134:; MOBILE STATION ISDN NUMBER .... 98765432134 VLR-ADDRESS .... 96431324567
