Summary:A communication device (102) has a serving and neighbor list (202) and a bandmap (204, 206). Upon losing communication service (402) the device begins alternately scanning the serving and neighbor list (SNL) and subsections (302, 304, 306, 308) of the bandmap. If an appropriate carrier is found while scanning the SNL, the device reconnects to the serving system. While scanning the subsections of the bandmap, the device creates and maintains a list (312) of suitable carriers. If no carriers are found corresponding to the SNL, a serving cell is selected from the list (312).
