Abstract
A method for operating a mobile telecommunications device connected to a first mobile telecommunications network having a country code identifying a first country includes determining whether the mobile telecommunications device crosses from the first country into a second country. The method also includes, if the mobile telecommunications device crosses from the first country into the second country, scanning, through the mobile telecommunications device, for mobile telecommunications networks discoverable to the mobile communications device, where each discoverable mobile telecommunications network has a country code identifying a service country of that mobile telecommunications network. Additionally, the method includes offering to a user of the mobile telecommunications device to manually connect the mobile telecommunications device to the discoverable mobile telecommunications networks in order of priority on a prioritized roaming list associated with the mobile telecommunications device and having a country code not identifying the first country.
