A method of selecting a public land mobile network (PLMN) for enabling a user equipment (UE) to communicate and a user equipment are provided. The method includes checking, by the UE, whether an elementary file (EF) is present in a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) inserted in the UE, if the UE initiates a procedure for selecting a PLMN, wherein the EF includes a PLMN selection mode; and selecting, by the UE, a PLMN based on the PLMN selection mode. The UE is configured to check if an EF is present in a UICC inserted in the UE, if the UE initiates a procedure for selecting a PLMN, wherein the EF includes a PLMN selection mode; and select a PLMN based on the PLMN selection mode.

The present invention relates to a multi-role Bluetooth device and more particularly to a multi-role Bluetooth handset. The multi-role Bluetooth device stores a plurality of SDPs (Service Discovery Protocols), and establishes Bluetooth connection with an electronic device by one of SDPs. The multi-role Bluetooth device can establish Bluetooth connection with the electronic device by a first SDP, and transmit and/or receive data to the electronic device each other via Bluetooth connection. Furthermore, the multi-role Bluetooth device also can establish Bluetooth connection with the electronic device by a second SDP, and transmit a control signal to the electronic device via Bluetooth connection to control the electronic device to execute particular function thereof.
