In order to reduce the amount of PLMN information broadcasted in a shared radio access network (101) for allowing a mobile communication device (103) to select a core network operator, the invention suggests a method for selecting a core network (102a; 102b; 105) to serve a mobile communication device (103). The method comprises the steps of: (i) receiving in the mobile communication device (103) a first identifier from a shared radio access network (101) being connected to multiple core networks (102a, 102b), (ii) reading second identifiers of the multiple core networks (102a, 102b) from a data item stored in the mobile communication device (103) upon receipt of the first identifier, the data item comprising an allocation between the first identifier and the second identifiers, (iii) selecting the core network (102a; 102b; 105) from a group of available core networks (102a; 102b; 105), the group being determined based upon the second identifiers. Furthermore, the invention suggests a mobile communication device (103) for executing the method.
