Abstract
Approaches enable a service such a network optimization service of a computing device (e.g., a mobile phone, table computer, etc.) or other electronic device to monitor certain conditions of the device, such as device location, to determine a region in which the device is operating in. The device location can be used to determine a region in which the device is operating, and based at least on that region, a group of frequencies (e.g., a band group) including at least a subset of band frequencies and technologies that the device supports can be determined. The device can then search bands/technologies from the band group to determine a network provider (e.g., a public land mobile network (PLMN)) from which to gain telecommunication service access.
