A method () and mobile device () for reduced scanning within a uniform period in an out-of-service condition is described herein. In one arrangement, the method can include the steps of detecting () the out-of-service condition, during a wake-up interval (), waking () up to scan one or more channels () for service and maintaining a constant wake-up time for subsequent wake-up intervals. The method can also include the step of varying () the amount of time spent scanning the channels during the subsequent wake-up intervals. As an example, varying the amount of time spent scanning channels can be done by decreasing () the amount of time spent scanning for each successive, subsequent wake-up interval.
