A method for steering a mobile device to a preferred network, such as a Private LTE network or a 5G network, in a scenario in which the coverage area of the preferred network overlaps the coverage area of a non-preferred network. A preferred network list is provisioned into a SIM/eSIM module at the mobile device side. The steering application is hosted at the home network and periodically triggers the home network to request from the visited network a set of values for attributes associated with a current location of the mobile device. Based on these values, the steering application determines whether the mobile device is within the coverage area of the preferred network and, if so, directs the home network to send a cancel location request to the non-preferred visited network, thereby triggering the mobile device to attach to the preferred network.
