A method for accessing to a network performed by a mobile communication terminal, the method comprises: detecting (S101, S201) a type of user identification card inserted into a mobile communication terminal in a first time; determining (S102, S202) a public land mobile network, PLMN, in compliance with a network standard supported by the mobile communication terminal based on the type of user identification card; adding (S103, S203) a network identity of the determined PLMN in compliance with the network standard supported by the mobile communication terminal to an equivalent public land mobile network, EPLMN, list, wherein PLMNs in the EPLMN list have the same status and level of priority; and establishing (S104, S204) a communication connection between the mobile communication terminal and a matching PLMN upon a condition that the matching PLMN is found to match the network identity in the EPLMN list, wherein before the step of establishing the communication connection between the mobile communication terminal and the matching PLMN upon the condition that the matching PLMN is found to match the network identity in the EPLMN list the method further comprises: scanning network identities of PLMNs broadcasted by a base station; comparing the scanned network identities of the PLMNs with the network identity of PLMN in the EPLMN list; wherein after establishing the communication connection between the mobile communication terminal and the matching PLMN upon the condition that the matching PLMN is found to match the network identity in the EPLMN list, the method further comprises: storing the EPLMN list to the mobile communication terminal or the user identification card. detecting (S101, S201) a type of user identification card inserted into a mobile communication terminal in a first time; determining (S102, S202) a public land mobile network, PLMN, in compliance with a network standard supported by the mobile communication terminal based on the type of user identification card; adding (S103, S203) a network identity of the determined PLMN in compliance with the network standard supported by the mobile communication terminal to an equivalent public land mobile network, EPLMN, list, wherein PLMNs in the EPLMN list have the same status and level of priority; and establishing (S104, S204) a communication connection between the mobile communication terminal and a matching PLMN upon a condition that the matching PLMN is found to match the network identity in the EPLMN list, wherein before the step of establishing the communication connection between the mobile communication terminal and the matching PLMN upon the condition that the matching PLMN is found to match the network identity in the EPLMN list the method further comprises: scanning network identities of PLMNs broadcasted by a base station; comparing the scanned network identities of the PLMNs with the network identity of PLMN in the EPLMN list; wherein after establishing the communication connection between the mobile communication terminal and the matching PLMN upon the condition that the matching PLMN is found to match the network identity in the EPLMN list, the method further comprises: storing the EPLMN list to the mobile communication terminal or the user identification card. scanning network identities of PLMNs broadcasted by a base station; comparing the scanned network identities of the PLMNs with the network identity of PLMN in the EPLMN list; wherein after establishing the communication connection between the mobile communication terminal and the matching PLMN upon the condition that the matching PLMN is found to match the network identity in the EPLMN list, the method further comprises: storing the EPLMN list to the mobile communication terminal or the user identification card.
