The invention concerns a method of scheduling the reception of at least one System Information block by a mobile device being adapted to be associated with at least a first Subscriber Identity and a second Subscriber Identity, the System Information block being intended to the second Subscriber Identity and being broadcasted with a first periodicity over a network by at least one base station of the network in the form of a plurality of bursts, according to a given frame structure having TDMA frames, each TDMA frame comprising a plurality of time gaps, at least one first time gap of a first TDMA frame being allocated to communication activity on the first Subscriber Identity, at least one burst of the System Information block being broadcasted over the network during a second time gap of a second TDMA frame. If the first TDMA frame and the second TDMA frame are one and the same TDMA frame within the frame structure but if the second time gap is distinct from the first time gap within the TDMA frame, or if the second TDMA frame is distinct from the first TDMA frame, then the method comprises allocating the second time gap of the second TDMA frame to receive the burst of the System Information block.
