Abstract
A device includes a processor that may be configured to obtain a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) identifier (ID) from a signal broadcast by a network and determine whether the obtained PLMN ID is an original preferred PLMN ID of the device. When the processor determines that the obtained PLMN ID is the original preferred PLMN ID, the processor may attempt to attach to the network over a wireless link. When the attempt to attach to the network fails, the processor may rewrite, in a list of PLMN IDs, a non-preferred PLMN ID as a new preferred PLMN ID.
