Abstract
Methods and devices are disclosed for enabling improved service acquisition on a first SIM of a multi-SIM wireless communication device. After the first SIM has lost service, the wireless device may detect a condition triggering a public mobile land network (PLMN) selection associated with the first SIM, receive an indication that service acquisition settings of the first SIM are set to a manual mode, and determine whether the second SIM is in idle mode. Upon determining that the second SIM is in idle mode, the wireless device may identify timing of a sleep cycle implemented by the second SIM, and perform the PLMN search using the first and second radio resources.
