A system comprises a home network including a Radio Access Network and a core network, a roaming network, and a User Equipment (UE) subscribing to the home network and the roaming network. The UE is configured to determine, while connected to a control plane of the core network, that the UE is not connected to a user plane of the core network. In response, the UE connects to the roaming network. While connected to the roaming network, the UE periodically attempts to connect to the home network. The UE switches back to the home network upon successfully connecting to the control plane and the user plane of the core network.
