Embodiments of the present invention provide a network selection method and user equipment. The method includes accessing a first wireless local area network WLAN access device by using a non-3rd Generation Mobile Communication 3GPP subscription; attaching to a 3GPP core network by using a 3GPP access network; determining whether a 3GPP subscription has a higher priority than the non-3GPP subscription; and accessing a WLAN by using the 3GPP subscription if the 3GPP subscription has a higher priority than the non-3GPP subscription.
