In an embodiment, a wireless communications device (WCD) is provisioned with a plurality of subscriber identity modules (SIMs). The WCD determines a first set of bands (BAND) that is associated with a first SIM and a second set of bands (BAND) associated with a second SIM. In a first embodiment, the WCD generates a combined band for the first and second SIMs and then scans the combined band to detect a set of target networks for camping in association with at least the first and second SIMs. In a second embodiment, the WCD scans BANDto detect a first set of target networks for camping in association with the first SIM, and then excludes, from the BAND, bands that overlap with BAND. The WCD then scans the reduced BANDto detect to detect a second set of target networks for camping in association with the second SIM.
