A communications terminal 1 communicates data to and from a mobile communications network. The mobile communications network has one or more base stations 2.1, 2.2 configured to provide a low bandwidth communications interface formed from a low bandwidth carrier and to provide a high bandwidth communications interface formed from a high bandwidth carrier. The communications terminal 1 is configured to attach for communication to the high bandwidth interface and, in response to receiving a command M9.1 from the mobile communications network, to detach from the high bandwidth interface and to reattach to the low bandwidth interface for communicating data to or from the mobile communications network via the low bandwidth interface. Accordingly communications resources of the mobile communications network which are allocated for the low bandwidth interface may be used more efficiently by load balancing between the low bandwidth interface and the high bandwidth interface. |
