Abstract
A mobile communication device includes a domain selection feature that allows a user to select a domain preference such as a circuit switched (CS) voice domain preference, a packet switched (PS) data domain preference, or a (CS+PS) domain preference. The mobile device receives Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) ID and domain availability information from one or more PLMNs. A PLMN priority list is generated on the basis of the received PLMN information and the user domain preference selection. PLMNs having the user selected service available are assigned a higher priority than those that don't currently have the service, whereby an original PLMN list may be updated. Thereby, the mobile device is more likely to obtain the desired service without resorting to a time consuming manual selection process.
