Abstract
A cellular radiotelephone system is accessed by a cellular radiotelephone without requiring System IDentification (SID) comparison during access. Access is performed by eliminating a rescan of Access Channels during access and using the Combined Paging and Access Channel which was identified during initialization for system access. Alternatively, the Access Channels may be rescanned upon an access request and a comparison of the Digital Color Code with the initially scanned channels is made. If the compared Digital Color Code matches, the identified channel is used for system access regardless of its SID.
