Techniques are provided for efficient detachment from or attachment to wireless network(s). In one example, there is provided a method, operable by the user equipment (UE), that may involve connecting to a first wireless network (e.g., a 3GPP network) associated with a first access point name (APN), and connecting to a second wireless network (e.g., a WAN) associated with a second APN. The method may involve performing handover for the first APN from the first wireless network to the second wireless network. The method may involve performing detach for the first APN from the second wireless network.
