A method for performing manual public land mobile network (PLMN) search includes: receiving a command to perform manual PLMN search on an inactive subscription associated with a first subscriber identity module (SIM) of a communication device; determining if a data connection is enabled on an active subscription associated with a second SIM of the communication device; and if the data connection is not enabled on the active subscription, performing the manual PLMN search on the inactive subscription by tuning away from the active subscription to identify available operators associated with the first SIM.
