Abstract
The present invention provides for a method for use in network acquisition in a cellular radio communications device comprising the steps of, storing details of the cell to which the device was connected at the time of loss of the network for at least first and second separate instances of network loss, comparing the current cell appearing at the time of seeking network establishment with the stored cell details, camping on the current cell by means of the stored cell details if the comparison indicates a match, and conducting a network cell search if the comparison does not identify a match between the current cell and one of the stored cells.
