A wireless communication device () and method () for improving a browsing experience. The method () can include: monitoring () a user activity in a wireless communication device; providing () a program that correlates user activity and the need to access the internet; and pre-activating () an internet link, based on the monitored user activity and the program. Advantageously, the pre-activating () feature can decrease the time it takes to complete a wireless network connection, thus minimizing wait time. This feature is particularly useful in low and marginal coverage areas.

Method and device for improving a browsing experience

A method and apparatus for performing the method are provided. The method includes operating a mobile device in a first network while a timer of the mobile device is running to prevent the mobile device from scanning for a second network. The method also includes determining a distance that the mobile device is from a reference location, where the reference location is associated with where the mobile device is prevented from scanning for the second network. The method further includes adjusting the timer when the determined distance from the reference signal exceeds a threshold. When the determined distance exceeds the determined distance, the mobile device can scan for the second network.
