1. A method for selecting a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) in a wireless communication system by a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:
detecting, by the UE, that the UE is operating in an interworking mode;
triggering, by the UE, a manual scan in the interworking mode for acquiring a list of PLMNs in the wireless communication system;
causing, by the UE, a display to output the list of PLMNs in response to the triggering;
receiving, by the UE, a first selection of at least one PLMN among the list of PLMNs from an external source or a second selection of a selected network class from the external source;
registering the UE with a selected PLMN among the list of PLMNs based on the first selection or the second selection;
determining, by the UE, that the selected PLMN is a low priority PLMN; and
starting, by the UE, a timer based on the determining the selected PLMN is the low priority PLMN.
