Network camp on for multi-sim devices

A wireless communication device, comprising:

• at least one radio frequency (RF) resource;
• a processor operably connected to said RF resource and configured to connect to a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) associated with a first subscription and to a second SIM associated with a second subscription, and configured to:
• register the first subscription to a first Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), wherein the first PLMN is associated with at least one parameter;
• identify a second PLMN for the second subscription based on the at least one parameter;
• and
• register the second subscription to the second PLMN;
• and
• a memory operably connected to said processor.

A method for a wireless communication device to manage registrations for a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) associated with a first subscription and a second SIM associated with a second subscription, the method comprising:

• determining a first Mobile Country Code (MCC) associated with a first Land Mobile Network (PLMN) on which the first subscription is registered;
• selecting a second PLMN from a list of candidate PLMNs associated with the second subscription based on the MCC;
• and
• registering the second subscription to the second PLMN before registering other candidate PLMNs from the list of candidate PLMNs.
