Abstract  Abstract

Home network name displaying methods and apparatus for multiple home networks are disclosed. A mobile station scans to receive a plurality of Mobile Country Code (MCC) and Mobile Network Code (MNC) pairs corresponding to a plurality of communication networks within a coverage area. The mobile station selects and registers with a communication network associated with one of the received MCC and MNC pairs for communication. After the network is selected the received MCC and MNC pair is compared with a plurality of home network MCC and MNC pairs which are associated with a single home network display name. Based on identifying a match between the received MCC and MNC pair and any one of the home network MCC and MNC pairs the home network display name is visually displayed in a display of the mobile station. If no match exists an alternate name is selected for display. The plurality of home network MCC and MNC pairs may be stored in memory of the mobile station or alternatively on a Subscriber Identify Module (SIM). Advantageously a single home network name is displayed when a network associated with any of the home network MCC and MNC pairs is selected for communication.
