Abstract
A method is provided for selecting an available network by a mobile apparatus, such as a mobile phone. As a subscriber moves from country to country he needs to switch from network to network, with limited control over the network chosen and the services provided by the network. The mobile phone is provided with parameter sets, providing connection parameters for more than one network based upon the geographic location that the mobile phone is in. The mobile phone may provide for automatic selection of an available network.
