The present invention relates to location based network selection in a mobile terminal moving (A to H) in a wireless communication environment set up of a home network in a home country having a border and at least one foreign network achieving radio coverage at least in part of the geographical area of the home country. A position (A to H) of the mobile terminal is monitored. Then, a network selection mode is automatically switched from a home network selection mode, enabling registration only to the home network, to an automatic network selection mode when the mobile terminal crosses the border from the home country to the foreign country. The network selection mode is switched back to the home network selection mode when the mobile terminal is again located in the home country. Thus, as long as the mobile terminal is located in the home country, it does never select any other network than the home network. When located abroad, automatic network selection applies. |
