Unanswered Questions

How does the device determine the country where it is located?

The abstract does not specify the method or technology used to identify the country where the electronic device is located. This could be based on GPS location, network information, or other means.

What happens if the detected network is not available for registration?

The abstract does not mention what the device does if the detected network is not available for registration. It would be important to know how the device handles such situations to ensure a seamless user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device may include a subscriber identification module, a wireless communication circuit, and a processor, wherein the processor identifies information on a country where the electronic device is located, when the country where the electronic device is located is changed on the basis of the country where the electronic device is located, generates a PLMN list corresponding to the country where the electronic device is located, performs network search based on the PLMN list via the wireless communication circuit and when a cell of a PLMN included in the PLMN list is detected through the network search, performs registration in the detected cell via the wireless communication circuit.
