Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to determine that a vehicle is in a predefined power-preservation state. The processor is also configured to determine a lowest transmit-power available cellular band for vehicle telematics services, responsive to the power-preservation state. The processor is further configured to disable all bands other than the lowest-power available band and use the lowest-power available band for vehicle communication as long as the power-preservation state persists.
