The invention relates to methods and devices for facilitating selection of network access for one or more wireless communication devices. A network connectivity selection node (106) establishes (S102) a connection with at least one reporting wireless communication device (101), receives (S103) information regarding topology of networks via which one or more modems (102-105) with which said at least one reporting wireless communication device is equipped is capable of performing access, as well as a current location of the at least one reporting wireless communication device, and stores (S104) the received network topology information and said location. Said node further establishes (S105) a connection with the one or more wireless communication devices for which selection of network is to be facilitated, determines (S106), from the network topology information, a recommendation on which network access the one or more wireless communication devices for which selection of network is to be facilitated should perform at
