Abstract

A method and apparatus is provided for communicating on a wireless network which offers a selected service. In accordance with the method, a wireless communicator is tuned to a first signaling control channel broadcast by a wireless network. The first channel identifies one or more services provided over that network. This procedure is repeated for successive signaling control channels until a wireless network providing the selected service is identified. Once this has been identified, communication is conducted between the wireless communicator and the network.
