This disclosure relates to mobile core network information dissemination by a wireless access network node to wireless terminal devices to assist the wireless terminal devices to perform manual core network selection. In particular, a multi-stage process is disclosed for dissemination of human readable network names for core networks supported by a wireless access network node. A human readable name presence indicator may be disseminated with network IDs of the supported core networks. Actual human readable names may be separately disseminated by the wireless access network node either spontaneously or on demand in response to requests from the wireless terminal devices.
