A method for a device in switching operation for communications from a wireless wide area network to a wireless local area network, the method comprising: providing operation for communications in the wireless wide area network with use of a first transceiver portion adapted for communications in the wireless wide area network; wherein during operations in the wireless wide area network: storing, in memory, visited cell site history information, wherein the visited cell site history information includes at least a cell site count which is the number of visited cell sites of the wireless wide area network that served the device over a moving time period of operation of the device, and wherein the visited cell site history information further includes for each visited cell site a cell selection count of the number of times the visited cell site was selected by the device over the moving time period of operation; in response to identifying that the cell site count is less than a cell site threshold and that the cell selection count of the most recently visited cell site is greater than a cell selection threshold count: enabling a second transceiver portion which is adapted for communications in the wireless local area network; and causing an indicator to be displayed at the device, the indicator indicating the availability for communications in the wireless local area network; else disabling the second transceiver portion for communications in the wireless local area network to reduce power consumption in the device. providing operation for communications in the wireless wide area network with use of a first transceiver portion adapted for communications in the wireless wide area network; wherein during operations in the wireless wide area network: storing, in memory, visited cell site history information, wherein the visited cell site history information includes at least a cell site count which is the number of visited cell sites of the wireless wide area network that served the device over a moving time period of operation of the device, and wherein the visited cell site history information further includes for each visited cell site a cell selection count of the number of times the visited cell site was selected by the device over the moving time period of operation; in response to identifying that the cell site count is less than a cell site threshold and that the cell selection count of the most recently visited cell site is greater than a cell selection threshold count: enabling a second transceiver portion which is adapted for communications in the wireless local area network; and causing an indicator to be displayed at the device, the indicator indicating the availability for communications in the wireless local area network; else disabling the second transceiver portion for communications in the wireless local area network to reduce power consumption in the device. storing, in memory, visited cell site history information, wherein the visited cell site history information includes at least a cell site count which is the number of visited cell sites of the wireless wide area network that served the device over a moving time period of operation of the device, and wherein the visited cell site history information further includes for each visited cell site a cell selection count of the number of times the visited cell site was selected by the device over the moving time period of operation; in response to identifying that the cell site count is less than a cell site threshold and that the cell selection count of the most recently visited cell site is greater than a cell selection threshold count: enabling a second transceiver portion which is adapted for communications in the wireless local area network; and causing an indicator to be displayed at the device, the indicator indicating the availability for communications in the wireless local area network; enabling a second transceiver portion which is adapted for communications in the wireless local area network; and causing an indicator to be displayed at the device, the indicator indicating the availability for communications in the wireless local area network; else disabling the second transceiver portion for communications in the wireless local area network to reduce power consumption in the device.
